Hello,

My bathroom does not have an extractor fan, so I would like to fit one
to extract steam and prevent condensation, etc.

Are there any restrictions on where to place it? Does it have to be
three bricks in from the corner or two courses down from the top of
the wall for example, or can it go anywhere? (It will be a standard 4
inch bathroom fan, which I would plan to core drill through the brick
wall).

Thanks,
Stephen.

Electrical zones apply if mains. Generally the nearer the toilet bowl the better

Ideally in a place so the the air drawn in from the bathroom door (which is
where the replacement air comes in from) will replace all the air ie the
furthest point possible from the door and as high up as possible.

Wherever you site this, would strongly recommend that you don't
buy cheap.
Cheapo £20 shed fans last maybe 2 years in my experience.
There's a good reason why hotels etc fit Xpelair or Ventaxia -
longevity!

Solar Palau - an excellent make, from experience...

Have you considered an in-line fan fitted in the loft space vented
through the eaves or a roof tile vent? I've fitted one before and found
it much better than the wall mounted fan it replaced. It clears the
steam very quickly and is extremely quiet. Plus all you can see from the
bathroom is a small air valve.

Be cautious if the proposed outlet faces into the prevailing wind. If so it can burn out quite quickly unless shielded.

My through-the-wall fan is on the SW wall so I used one of these beasties:

Perhaps a bit big and obvious for some places but in this case it's on the
side of the house and ~25m from the road.

I put one of those over the exit grille from my kitchen
extractor. It is on a west facing gable end, and has helped a lot
to keep out the prevailing winds.

BTW, there's still some rattling of the antibackdraught shutter even with
the cover. I'm wondering if a length of brush-type door seal would kill the
turbulence. Some time, when ICBA to get the ladder round there, I'll try it.
That's where the stainless PK screws come in handy.
