Venting bathroom with no external wall/loft access
Apr 7th, 2018, 12:51pm
 
Hi there, I have a ensuite shower room which has no access to an external wall or loft (it is a ground floor flat). The ceiling is also made out of concrete. I was wondering what the best way is for venting the shower room? For example, a de-humidifier?

Any help will be much appreciated!  Smiley

Is it possible to run a duct through an adjacent room to the outside? You can get very thin rigid ducting that would be relatively unobtrusive. I don't think it would be safe/ practical to use a dehumidifier.

Rented? Purchased ?  If the latter then was it surveyed as that en-suite is against building regs and should have been picked up by a surveyor.

How did it ever get Planning approval?.

Do you have false ceilings you can run a duct through to external or maybe an unused chimney stack
