Hi, my niece lives in a flat and has a bathroom without a window. There is an extractor fan which packed up and an electrician installed a new one a few weeks ago. That then blew and he came back and said that the extractor wasn't fit for purpose as it is wasn't powerful enough to get rid of all the steam after a shower. he said that he would need to install a powerful device in the loft and just have the vent for it in the bathroom ceiling. The cost will be £990!! He also said that the new fan blew because it tried to suck out the steam and it wasn't powerful enough so the steam turned to water and flowed back down the vent and shorted the electrics! This sounds like nonsense to me! I think its more likely that as they have had a problem in the past of rainwater getting into the roof where the extractor goes through, its more likely that rain has got into the system that way.
Any advice or info would be appreciated.
thank you in advance
