Should a new extractor fan vent have a cover?
Nov 13th, 2013, 8:30pm
 
If a builder installs a new extractor fan in a new bathroom, and the vent exits just before the gutter, should than vent exit be capped in some way?  My builder has just left two extractor vents uncapped and it just looks wrong!!

It looks it was overlooked to be honest.  Quite often, bodgers don't even bring the hose out over the soffit, they leave it in the loft! (Very wrong!).
