Small Shower Room Ventilation.

Zoomup
I was talking to a developer this morning. His son is a sparks. The two have installed a new 4 inch ceiling fan in a small upstairs shower room that has no windows. The building roof has been renewed recently and new breathable "felt" installed under the tiles. I had previously mentioned that the roofers could install a new roof vent for the fan ducting, but nothing has been done about this.


The developer says that the son advises terminating the air duct in the loft onto a bucket to catch moisture, which I said was not acceptable.


Bearing in mind that the new roofing "felt" (membrane) is breathable, is there any reason these days not to terminate the air duct directly into the loft space with no external grille?

    "This is the developer that has no fresh air ventilation for log burners in two separate rooms, and a kitchen Aga. The house has been recently updated with all new double glazing so is very well sealed and airtight. And the house is to be rented out as a holiday let."


    I hope it has an efficient means of CO detection.


    Yes, each room that has a fuel burning appliance has a new CO alarm fitted. But I am of the  opinion that prevention is better than detection.
