Not exactly DIY, as I'm going to get contractors in to do the electrics and core drilling, but I want to run my plan making my bathroom less damp, cold and mouldy past the LFGSSDIY hivemind. The plan is to get one of these:
and hang it above the doorways between my bathroom, kitchen and porch. This will extract damp air from the bathroom and push in slightly warmed, fresh air into the kitchen. I'd like to put the inward air further into the flat, and push air right through from the front, but I can't see any easy way of doing this, that doesn't involve pulling down ceilings / boxing in ducting. The fan has a boost mode that'll hopefully be triggered by a humidistat and manual timer, if I can figure out whether I can get the two to run in parallel.
The other option is to save 100quid by just not drilling through into the kitchen, and out-putting the airflow directly below the fan unit, but my feeling is this will drastically reduce extraction on moisture from cooking from the kitchen.
At the same time I'm going to have install a dual fuel towel rail, in place of the current, tiny radiator. This will be on a separate time switch like this
I'll also be getting the bathroom window changed for a double glazed one. the plaster either side of this is currently really damp and crumbly, and the cill is a bit swollen but should be ok with new paint, should I look to get these replaced at the same time or just wait until it dries out and re-paint?
