Can any one advise me please. My plumber has put a ventilation pipe from a new toilet room (which has no windows) to come out just outside of a bedroom window on a flat roof. This presumably means that any smells and also moisture from this new room will come directly into the bedroom and also increase dampness risk to the flat roof and the bedroom?
It doesn't look as if it's in the right place, to me and I've never seen one sited there before on other houses - as they usually have a tall pipe that curves away from the house and above the line of the roof.
Does anyone know if this is a) allowed by building regulations? b) will cause smells in the bedroom when the window is open and c) will cause a problem with damp to the flat roof and into the bedroom?
So far the builders are saying that it's fine and they'll 'cap it' and it won't cause smells and there was nowhere else to put it. Am I being fobbed off?
