I noticed a pool of water on the ensuite floor this morning and on closer inspection it is coming from the ceiling mounted extractor fan. Initially I thought it must be a burst pipe but it is actually condensation dripping down the duct from the inside of the roof vent.
There is a radiator more or less beneath the fan so the heat must be rising through the fan in to the duct and then condensing. I haven't noticed this before as I don't normally have the heating on upstairs but did yesterday. Is there any way of preventing this? The extractor fan has self-closing fins which should prevent much of the rising heat getting in to the duct.
