A friend of mine has recently moved into a top-floor flat which is built into the pitched roof of a large house.
I have connected a washing machine located in its own enclosure in the loft/attic area in the side of a bedroom. In addition my friend wants me to instal a tumble drier alongside the washing machine. I am having a problem trying to determine a suitable point to connect the ventilation hose. The other side of the loft/attic is a plyboard back panel, behind which are the eaves of the roof – access to here is very restricted. The extraction hose for the bathroom (which is below the bedroom) comes up into the floor of the loft and connects to the plyboard where it terminates. Presumably it is deemed acceptable for the extracted air from the bathroom to exit into this area. Would, then, it be similarly sufficient to connect the ventilation hose of the tumble drier in the same manner ie without a connection to the outside wall? This would of course assume that the area around the eaves is sufficiently cool enough to cope with the output from the drier.
Thanks for any help.
