Hi,
Not sure if this is quite the right place for this query, but here goes.
I have a second (top) floor flat with no extractor fans in kitchen or bathroom. There's not enough space on the external wall of the bathroom to put an extractor fan on that side (i.e. to get it far enough away from the bath and shower), so I think the fan inlet will have to go in the ceiling.
My problem is where to put the fan outlet. I have access to the loft space, but would prefer to avoid doing any work on the roof (expensive, since that wouldn't be a DIY job for me!). This leaves one possibility - the waste vent pipe goes up through the airing cupboard next to the bathroom and into the loft space and then out of the roof.
Is it legal/sane/feasible to connect the outlet of an extractor fan to the waste vent pipe?
Any advice or other ideas appreciated!
Steve.
