in-line bathroom extractor fan

[curium]

Hi,

I currently have an in-line extractor fan located in the roof-space above my bathroom.

I'm considering a loft conversion. Does this mean that I need to drill a hole in the wall of the bathroom to replace the in-line extractor?

Thanks

Does the ductwork run in the same direction as the joists?

The current joists are in-line I believe but the new floor would use joists resting in the webbing of steels so would run at 90° I believe.

Even if they were in-line there would still be the problem of locating the fan itself

If there is space for the duct between the joists, take out the inline fan, join the ducts together and put a wall fan on the ceiling where there is now a grill. Move the power cable from the inline fan to the new ceiling fan.
