Bathroom extraction with no provision for outlet

[stevethesparks]

Hi
Have quoted for multiple ensuites and bathroom additions for an old customer. I did include in my quotation that any coring or ducting for extraction fans to be undertaken by the builder - so I am covered.
However, the builder is a mate, and I'd like to help where I can.
There is one small ensuite on a mid floor in the centre of the house that is proving difficult to route a suitable ducting, and even where possible ends up above a conservatory.
I feel a little dumb even asking, but is anyone aware of any such device that could be used to direct the extract fan through that would send any humidity to a local soil pipe or similar?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Could you use a multi-vent that will serve all extraction maybe in the loft?

Thanks for the reply, but it would still be an issue getting the ducting to the loft as its mid floor of a 3 storey house.
Another issue would be with a ducting of any considerable length would reduce the effectiveness of the fan as well as probably needing a condensation trap added.

Did you check the link though?

Could some sort of access be put up over conservatory or if Perspex sheet taken out, just a thought .

What about fitting them in the window if location is suitable. A good glazier could save you alot of grief.

I did, and thanks for that, but looking at some of the reviews, it didn't fill me me confidence.

Thats up to the builder at the end of the day, as I sneakily opted out of any such responsibility in my quotation.

No windows I'm afraid, the ensuite is in the middle of the house and on the 1st floor of a 3 storey house.

Wouldnt that bathroom need proper extraction to meet building regs, that fan just a recirculation and wont do owt for condensation?

Can you have an ensuite approved with no window and no extractor? Sounds like it's time to take a bit of the flooring up and route the pipe to an exterior wall.

That can be done but ends up bang in the middle of a conservatory, and very high up too.
Looks like I'll be telling my builder mate "sorry I did try" whilst peeing my pants at the same time.

I was wondering the same as @Wilko . Was there no plans submited or building regs applied for.

I honestly don't know, that's the builders department.

How far into the build are they? What do the plans show?
