Hi
I have recently moved into a bungalow which has previously (some years ago) had the loft converted. It is my intention to install an extractor fan into the bathroom upstairs but I am puzzled as to where to locate it as there is no space to run the extraction hose or place the fan.
Normally I assume the fan would be placed in a loft and vent into the loft and to the outside world via a vent-tile or a soffit-vent.
The space between the bathroom wall/ceiling is packed with insulation and i presume noggins or tile battens will hinder passing a hose through the gap between the roof and the plasterboard. This gap looks about 4" at the most (not measured it).
I dont think i can run the hose through the ceiling slope space and into the void; which is where i intended on mounting the fan and vent
* If i place the fan directly above in the [tiny] ceiling void could i then vent directly through the roof.
As always a picture is worth a thousand words..
... any ideas/tips welcome
