thats what I was afraid of.. so just a normal breathable membrane then?

In general cause I like it more and don't want to have messy mineral wool on the floor (which I do now). But I don't think it's massively important to this question.

Hi, Planning to replace the roof (membrane, battens, tiles) in the 1970s terraced house, was planning to put in a breathable membrane (eg roofshield), however one of the roofers suggested breatherquilt instead (https://ybsinsulation.com/brands/breatherquilt/). Any thoughts about it? I'm a bit...

Ordered a centrifugal from soler & palau - https://www.justfans.co.uk/ebb-170-centrifugal-extractor-fan-ebb-170n-p-160.html. 220m^3/h, 36 dB. Will see how good it really is.

what about this one: https://www.gil-lec.co.uk/vent-axia-439251-quadra-centrifugal-fan-240v-timer-pullcord ? seems to be 216m^3

Thanks. Would the inline fan itself have to go into the run to external wall itself? All the youtube videos about them suggest it needs to be installed in the loft?

Can be 150mm I checked

How do I 'close' the light? Put a cover on the loft side?

A good one I think :) We do use a bath quite a bit so I imagine some steam

If you mean in the bathroom there's just a light

Ok that's what I thought. In terms of the fan, as I understand I need a centrifugal one for the long duct?

It's something like the attached picture

The extractor fan is not in the loft, it's in the bathroom - or rather at the bathroom end of this path between the external wall and the bathroom. Loft is above it all.

No, there's just a boxed part of the bedroom wall that goes toward the external wall, there's no kind of duct inside
