Condensation In Bathroom With No Window - Best Extractor Solution?

[Murdoch]

I can get the installer back, but I'm not sure I follow what you mean

If you mean cut a hole somewhere else, where do you mean?

I would move the fan so it’s over the shower

That would give you an air change in roughly 10-12 minutes

Inline ones are always best

i know, it's just that where the inline one would go, would not be accessible with it being a ground floor bathroom. So not sure I can be arsed with the faff of cutting a hole in the ceiling everytime it needs to come down.

I suppose an alternative would be to do a sort of loft hatch instead..... But even then the rate of extraction isn't heaps beyond 220 M3 per hour.

Not sure it's worth it. as a first port of call anyway!

just get the installer back to relocate the fan to above the shower and use the existing ducting!

haha, I know, me too... but I dont think it's an option. Let me do another diagram.

Black lines are the joists,
Blue is proposed position of fan over shower and ducting from shower to external
green is soil pipe that cant be moved because of an RSJ.
red is current extractor and current ducting

How could he get the current ducting from where it is to the shower if the joists run front to back?

I thought you said the red lines were marking where the vent runs ????????

I'm probably missing something here haha? , if the joists (black lines) run front to back like that, how could he get the red ducting to the blue X?

....that's right! from the red X to the external wall.

It has joists between that and the shower.
