Another bodge
Went into the roof above the en suite yesterday, looking for lighting
circuit cables, and realised that the extractor that vents into the roof space is covered by insulation! The same for the bathroom one as well. 1988-vintage property built by Bloors. |

One toilet extract blowing into the next toilet, and only one fan installed - nothing to the outside at all. All done by a 'professional' building company. Customer had believed for 14 years that he had two extractors:-) |

I think this shows that most fans are installed to keep the BCO happy, not to actually be used :-) |

They do connect to the outside, but via the some (long) duct, so most of the cooking smells go to the bathroom. -- David Clark $message_body_include ="PLES RING IF AN RNSR IS REQIRD" |
