I posted here about my builder and plastering fiasco and got some useful replies so here is the next issue...
We are just wanting to get comfort around what we think should have been done vs what has been done.
Please can you provide assurance / correct me
We have 4 extractor fans & these have been ducted as follows:
2x bathroom & ensuite - Into the loft and the motor is nowhere near the bathroom - its at the end of long ducting in the loft - so issue here is two fold: 1) motor not effective as end of 5m ducting and "curved" round a corner. 2) its ducting into my loft not outside.
1x utility - into the ceiling cavity - between 1st and second floor. I have stuck my mobile up a spotlight hole and taken a video - its just extracting air and no ducting to be seen. I have checked and this could have been installed in the wall which would have been preferable.
1x WC - again into the ceiling cavity - there is no outside wall - the ducting would have to run 3m to the outside in the ceiling cavity. i can not confirm if there is ducting attached - i can see a hole when i look outside but cant see if that is from the WC - going to check in the light & with builder.
Am I correct in thinking that all the above is unacceptable? All should be ducted to the outside should they?
Thanks in advance
