• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

A few years ago our bathroom was refurbished and an old, noisy extraction ventilation fan that was sunk into the wall was removed. It was replaced by a ceiling extractor that has a small lip so it does not sit flush with the ceiling. It’s just as noisy.

The problem is that our ceiling is now infested with black mould. I suspect the lip around the extractor is preventing moisture from being sucked of the ceiling surface into the fan. Is there such a thing as a ceiling ventilation extractor that sits flush to the ceiling or is even slightly recessed? I think that might be the solution but I’m also happy to consider other suggestions.

Thanks.
 
Possible the issue is there is not enough cavity space in the ceiling so it is sitting low. In which case trimming around it to alluw the cover to fit flush. I would remove the fan first and deal with the mould. Also check to see if it is venting properly by seeing if there is air flow through the vent cap on the exterior.
Can you post a pic.
