Hi all. We desperately need an extractor fan in our bathroom, and I'm just doing some research to find out what type of installation to go for.
It's a top floor maisonette with a tradition timber framed pitched roof, and solid brick walls. So I guess the options are
a) wall mounted fan which goes through the solid wall
b) ceiling mounted fan which goes through the plasterboard and is then ducted to the eaves which are around 2m away.
Which would be the simplest to install? Is there any reason why I should go for one type and not the other?
Also, I'm probably not going to do this myself - depends if I have the time and inclination. If I search for someone to do this, what type of tradesperson should I look for?
Many thanks for any advice!
