Hi folks, I have this job to tackle on the horizon next few weeks.
Stone cottage 21 inch thick solid walls, single storey, no soffit/overhang to vent out the extractor ducting in loft above shower room.
I have bought one of these ....
Manrose Complete Bathroom Shower Inline Light Extractor Fan Centrifugal Fan Kit
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Manrose-C...arden_Hearing_Cooling_Air&hash=item3cbd2e15e2
Now in the shower room there is a twin concrete block cavity wall , where the doorway was previously walled up. So is it ok for me to vent this ducting downwards from loft , with it being concealed by the shower room dry lining cavity , and for me to put out the holes in the twin block to the outside ?
The vent grill (from the outside ) will be about 2 foot off the ground, below a window.
Will the fan cope , and is it doable , as I don't fancy punching through a 21 inch stone wall !!!
I don't have any diamond cutters, so am thinking of using a masonry bit to drill out a series of holes in the block then chisel out
Any thoughts/comments appreciated.
Cheers.
