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?

    How is the Aga heated?

    The fuel is oil.

    It sounds like there’s some issues.

    There certainly are  in my opinion. I have stressed the need to take and act upon expert advice in this matter of good air supplies to rooms with fuel burning appliances, so the ball is in the house owner's court now. He admitted fitting extractor fans in upstairs bathrooms in his rental properties that just vent into the loft. He said that he will be dead before the problems come to light.
