    Thanks man! Much appreciated.

    Apologies for the noob question but would this then be fitted to the actual roof where the tiles etc are? is this something you can DIY or do I need a professional? i do have a friend with a roofing firm to be fair

    Roofing clay tiles ?
    Ive never worked on those . Im from Canada and we dont have that here tbh .

    You can exit the soffit . There are dryer terminals for that also .
    The more profesional it looks . The less likely people will notice . Its whe folk do shitty shoddy work that stands out like a sore thumb is when people notice .

    Do you have an old chimney that is not in use ? Thats what i use in very hot summer minths . In winter fall and spring i vent in my house . Saves me mega on heating bills . I have forced air furnace that circulates the humidty throughout the house and keeps a nice 40-50% rh througbout winter . Makes the skin less crackly

    Go to a quality Mom n Pop hardware store . They will line you up well with a good product

    I work on a lot of new builds, a lot of them already have a tile vent on the roof that goes to the soil stack? Hopefully you have saves you any hassle

    I Spy, at one point, suggested I use a gas exhaust through the tiles... not quite sure what its correct name is though

    Been wondering the same. Thinking ima just cut a hole in bedroom ceiling and extract into the loft. I guess I'll venture up there this weekend and see if there's an easy way to extract out of the loft too. Small loft though :|

    Without actually exiting the roof. Best place in the attic to vent to is right into the apex but outlet facing downwards, moisture will evaporate before it hits the ceiling/insulation below, a tumble drier condensate trap would also work but shouldn't be needed if apex is high enough.

    Chimney stack is ok too as long as not connected to an appliance, not usually applicable to new builds though

    Waste stack is ok as long as open vented and not internal (AAV) air admittance valve, which again new builds tend to have otherwise you will have other issues

    Eaves, not a good idea really and deffo not to remove any bricks to gain better exit
