In a word 'Yes'!

Ive just fixed the issue. It is just a temporary fix (luckily we're going into summer so I wont need to worry about it for a few months). Ultimately I will do a proper job. But for now I just bled the water out (most of the length of the duct was full of water!!); wrapped duct tape around the...

Just taken a photo. Admittedly, it was sunny/windy yesterday so that would have had a drying effect, but it looks like its getting better? (You can see the tide lines)

For a budget solution, do you think leaving the flexi duct as it is, but add the condensor trap and run the overflow pip out of the eaves?

OK, bucket has been removed!

I put it there to catch the drips from the gutter!! :LOL::LOL::cry:

Thanks. Makes sense. I will investigate further! :)

Ive cleared space in the inside to allow some air movement in an attempt to dry the area out. The pipes that enter the wall are bone dry - no sign of damp. During the summer I put compost bins against the wall. I dont think thats helping matters and not allowing the damp to evaporate...

Heres the fan. Hardly looks like something Elon Musk would have in his bathroom! :LOL: I can see daylight by the eves, so yes, running the pipe and/or duct at the roofline looks possible.

Hi guys Here are some more photos. It doesnt look like anything is out of alignment? I know the pipe isnt square with the floor, but it looks like its designed to be that way? (the toilet is a shortscale toilet so perhaps its a special pipe that allows for the lack of space).

That makes sense. I would be amazed (and angry) if that pipe is leaking as it was only installed 2 years ago. Cheers

Hi guys, Ive noticed a perfect radial damp patch behind the air source heat pump. The wall is plastered breeze block. The damp is penetrating into the garage. At first I thought it was because of the leaking gutter above it, but actually its probably where the pipes from the pump enter the...

I will have a closer inspection of the situation (gaps at the eaves etc...). Thanks so much for your fast/helpful replies!

Wow - I hadnt even noticed! Thanks, another thing to investigate.

Sorry, just to be clear, this is what I need? https://www.toolstation.com/900-pan-connector/p37429?store=EX&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed That looks like it will replace both joints?

Thanks! Ill try that.

Thanks guys. Ill take a photo of the fan when I next go round there (hopefully today) Im looking at condensation traps, but have nowehere for the overflow pipe to go. (Im not comfortable drilling holes by the roof line). So the hard duct should look like the below? I reckon the vertical bit...

Hi, My tenant has said that sometimes (about once a month) when he flushes the toilet the water level remains high in the bowl. So, obviously a blockage. (He said that it may be because his young son uses too much toilet paper). So he plunges the toilet with a toilet brush, and water escapes...

Hi all, I discovered that water was collecting in the duct piping from the bathroom extractor fan to the roof. I thought a temporary bodge would be to pierce it a couple of times and bleed the water out. (Hence the duct tape!) and to insulate it with some old duvet covers. Obviously not a...

Great, thanks guys. Even though its silicate-based, does that mean its water based? (ie: could I use very hot water as per @PJ Carpentry says?). Its certainly not oil based.
