Shower extractor puzzler

[skybluescooby]

Hi all,
Our en suite is west facing onto a large open space and the shower extractor vent ducting exits through the ceiling, into the loft and exits via a duct on the front eaves. This time of year the draught that comes in is horrendous and it actually makes the whole house freezin.
I took a shower the other day whilst we had high winds and i could feel the cold air over the hot water..
My question is, ca i get into the loft and disconnect the duct from the wall vent and hang it over an internal roof truss ??
The shower extractor only activates when the ensuite light comes on and is timed to go off 3 minutes after the light is switched off ??
Cheers in anticipation

blowing steam into the loft is a terrible idea.

Do a search on "Loft Condensation" to find out more

The outlet just needs a shutter to prevent backdraughts.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.
I have looked for some type of new shutter but due to original vent being placed under the fascia, (facing down), the shutters would just stay open all the time.
Any suggestions ??
My neighbour said he stuck cooker hood extractor filters in his vents ????

looks like your shutters are stuck open, they should close when the fan is off

This is what i have on the external fascia

This is the internal shower vent system

So looking at it you can see why the draught gets through as there is no way of shutting the vents down as its a spot light system as well ???

Any ideas suggestions ??
