Hi,
I'm installing an extractor fan in a bathrrom that previously only had a an air brick and a louvre ventilator (is that the right name? Some slots that are always open). However I'm struggling to know the best way to do it, any advice would be very much appreciated.
The diagram shows roughly what the situation is. The pink colur is where the ventilator used to be, it's now been removed and just the hole is there. The blue bit is the air brick. The green bit is mortar or something similar. The red bits are brick work. I'm on the 3rd storey of a block of flats so accessing from the outside is effectively impossible for me.
Can anyone advise what the best way of installing the extractor fan would be? Is it possible to connect the ducting from the extractor fan directly on to the airbrick so I don't have to drill through the brick itself? I don't have the drill accessory to drill a 100mm hole through the wall so would have to hire or buy one hence I'd prefer not to if at all possible.
Much appreciate any help you can offer.
Cheers,
Aaron
