Default Extractor fan prob

Hello Anteateruk

Sure the fumes aren't coming through the floor or ceiling, and by
activating the fan you're sucking them through?

Could try with the door open and see if that fixes it - otherwise
you're sucking the air out of a room; it's either going to come in
from *somewhere* or your bathroom will implode.
