I used a piece of a large orange squash bottle to fill the 3cm gap between
the wall mounted pipe and a new extractor fan, it slid inside the 100mm pipe

Now that sounds like a great idea! Only possible issue might be the
heat coming out the back of the tumble dryer.

The other idea about sawing a strip out of a 100mm pipe sounds good
too.

What a wonderful resource this forum is! Went to bed last night with a
problem and within hours have too viable solutions.

Just one word of caution here.

This junctions are great fluff catchers so you would want to be able
to monitor them.

I once had a fire in such a situation. Luckily the fluff didn't burst
into flames but just smouldered.
