Hi,
After having an over shower bathroom extractor fan installed in the loft and being underwhelmed with the lack of suction of the fan I decided to go up into the loft and check out the electricians work.
I have a 1930s house and there are not any soffits as such just the gap a narrow vent gap between the roof and the brick walls. The electrician has ensured me he has done this many time before but he has wedged the external grill to the gap. Not out of the gap but butted up against the gap to vent the fan. I have to say I have never seen a fan vented in this manner before. What does concern me whilst at floor level you can feel a really strong breeze that is blowing into the loft.................could there be creating pressure in the fan and in turn blowing moisture back into the loft space.
I have the electrician coming back out today.......but are there any experienced people on here that can tell me does this just sound so wrong.
Many thanks
Mandy
