I have a tumble drier that I am hopefully moving to a garage that I am
currently constructing (see my other questions :-). Unfortunately the
location of the drier in the garage will have no access to external walls,
as it is surrounded by the house and a party wall. The garage entrance
wall (yes it has one! ;-) is 27ft from the planned location of the drier.

As I cannot change the location of the tumble drier in the garage (a sort
of utility area beside the washing machine which has its own constraints)
is it possible to vent it through the roof, or would there be problems
with condensation running down the pipe? My tumble drier is fairly new so
I don't fancy changing it.


You can buy gizmos which attach to the outflow hose specifically for
applications where there's no vent to outside; the vapour condenses in
a collector apparently. No idea how well they work; think I've seen
them advertised in the Sunday papers.
