Hi,
I am looking to install a shower fan in the bathroom (ceiling mounted, ducted out through the eaves).
The only problem I have is that there is no gap at the eaves through which to pass the ducting - in fact, there doesn't seem to be any gap whatsoever.
The house is ~ 1920's semi, and the ceilings of the upstairs rooms slope (about 1ft) at the edges to accomodate the roofline. The closest image I've found on the web is below except where they have the vent, I have another course of bricks.
Is it possible to replace one of the bricks at the top of the course with an airbrick or through vent for the extractor?
On a wider note, do I need to look further at ventilating the roofspace or given that there are no signs of condensation and damp assume that there are enough cracks and gaps doing the job already.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
