    Tumble drier vents into garage at the moment, which is a bit suboptimal as far as I’m concerned given that’s where the bikes are kept.

    Anyone know whether there’s a reason not to cut a hole in the garage door for a vent?

    Alternative is to go through the ceiling & attach to existing bathroom extractor trunk, but I understand this may fall foul of building regs?

    Won’t you have to remove it every time you want to open the garage door? If that isn’t a hassle then can’t think of any other reasons as long as the hole doesn’t create a significant weakness in the door. Would it affect your insurance if they broke in that way and nicked your bikes?

    You could always invest in a condensing drier, which means you don’t need to vent at all.

    As a “Vent”, this thread is a disapointment.

    You can hire a 102mm core drill from your local builders merchant/hireshop and cut a hole in the garage wall. They will also have 100mm flexy duct and termination fittings to make a nice neat run and weatherproof the opening too. (or go to screwfix
