I am looking to install an extractor fan to remove vapour from a shower and toilet niffs. Are inline fans better than ceiling mount fans and where is the best place to locate the grill with the toilet pan and shower at opposite ends of the bathroom. I would rather not site it above the shower as fitting is a little awkward not to mention claustrophobic owing to the shallow angle of the roof approx. 22deg.?

Inline are generally best, but there are good and bad ones
around.

I would have thought that you would want the grille over the
shower, for best overall performance, but you don't tell us where
the air is flowing into the room to replace what you are
extracting, which is another consideration for airflow.

After recommendation here, I bought one of these:

Admittedly not cheap, but I was amazed by how quiet it was, I had
to feel the air to be sure it was running. You can't even hear it
in the bathroom, certainly not elsewhere.

It is screwed to a board across a couple of joists, and there
seems to be no discernable direct transmission. The mounting
bracket includes some rubber isolation material.

The airflow is far better than the (failed) cheap one it
replaced. It can push-fit into the pipework, and is readily
removable for cleaning.
