Got a job lined up where the inline extractors for bathroom and ensuite were done by a numpty... left the hose sitting in the loft stuck into the old water tank!
Customer has had me round to check it out as it was tripping out, turns out the guy didnt terminate the wires properly and had a loose wire, which somehow moved about when the fan came on.
Now going to drill through the wall in attic and fit a proper ventilation flap and piping. also redo the wiring.
Is there any issues (hygience/ ppe aside due to risk of bacteria in bat droppings etc) in terms of doing this with bats present in the attic? customer told me they are up there and a flash of the torch showed them up in the top corner minding there own business. could also see evidence of the droppings. but did not start prodding..
Just cant find a clear answer on doing the work with the bats present.. I know you aren't allowed to trap them in or 'disturb' them etc...
Advice welcome...
