I really appreciate both your advice and .... its helping me understand what the builder has done wrong and how he needs to correct it

 

[NBT]

The extractor uses a 150mn pipe and It advises in the booklet not to use a Reducer but the builder explained there is no option as limited space in the wall. Is this correct ?

 

[NBT]

Apologies so many questions....

The vent outside which has been installed upside down.... Is that the correct vent to use ? Looking on Screwfix the vents look different

Could have "tied" the brickwork at the side of the window in a lot better aswell. Did you get a "cheap" price for the work ?

 

[NBT]

I'll speak with the builder now I've gained the knowledge (thanks to you both) about the problems with the extractor ducting and waste pipes.... I'll keep you posted on the outcome !
Thank you again for taking the time to help me

Andy165 .... No it was not cheap (unfortunately). I found them on a reputable website !!!

Not a helpful comment really. Not a lot that can be done about that now.

I work alongside skilled bricklayers. They would never do a job like that. Looks amateurish !

Hopefully, it is properly tied into the original brickwork, with it now taking most of the weight of the damaged lintel. OP, did you see that being built, perhaps?
