Hi Redherring. Yes I realised after I posted it that it had been asked before. You will have to forgive me as I am new to this. Problem is there is nothing of the right size on sale so I suppose I will have to cut it and put two pieces on. If I use thermawrap, any idea on the right sort of...

By the way i forgot to mention that the loft hatch door is 875 x 660 mm and I havn't seen anything of the right dimensions in the DIY stores.

My bathroom is very cold. I have added extra insulation above it and put draught strips around the loft hatch. I now want to put some insulation on the loft hatch cover which lowers down on hinges to allow the loft ladder down. Can anyone reccomend the best stuff to use and best method of...

Thanks John it is the same power but it is quieter and the center piece comes out for easy cleaning. if I could find it cheaper then I would buy it but if not, then the one you linked to would be my next choice. thanks for your valuable advice as I am now clear on what to do.

I was shown a S&P TD250/100T mixed flow extractor fan in a plumbers merchants but it was £102 + vat. This seemed expensive even though it sounds like a really good one. I cant find it to buy on the internet-has anyone else heard of it?

Here are the photos that I said I would provide. Hope they give some ideas of what the problem might be.

To RichardC Thanks again for the advice and the website address. They definitely are cluster flies and I have put some fly papers up in the loft and sealed the gaps around the hatch with draught excluder and it seems to have worked. The best thing is that I can stop looking for dead animals...

There are no water pipes near it. I will upload photos tomorrow.

Thanks for that reply JohnD. I can get to the ducting. The actual fan is in the loft set about 2 feet from the ceiling entry point above the shower. Would a good course of action be to get a more powerful fan and use the existing ducting?

MisterG stated I have the same situation as this and Ban-all-sheds thinks this is not a good idea so I am anxious to hear the feedback on this one too.
