Bathroom extractor fan leaks condensation

[meddyuk]

We moved into a new build and during the winter months we notice a pool of water every day under the extractor fan in the bathroom. It drips constantly.

One of the fans has stopped working. I believe that this is because of excess condensation.

I think the ducting is to blame. How do I prevent this please?

You will have to position the ducting so the water runs away from the fan to the outside.

If you photograph the duct it might help.

You need to fix a condensation trap off the pipe which comes down from the roof vent if it’s vertical or put a p trap into the pipe ducting if it goes out off the loft horizontally through an outside wall . Ducting needs to be the insulated kind also if going through a cold loft
