Not sure what to do with this one. Bathroom extractor stopped sucking last week. Having been up in the loft, the hose (which is probably about 2m from ceiling fitting to fan inlet due to bathroom refit) was full of water to the point it was blocked.
Any suggestions how I can stop this happening again?
I used to like Massey Fergusons, but not any more...

Just before anyone else says it🤣
When did you stop supporting Ipswich Town?
In all seriousness, fit an insulated ducting, and insulate over the fan. The water vapour condensates in the hose in lofts, use an insulated ducting and it won’t condensate until it gets to the outside skin of the house.
Thanks, I’ll have a look at doing that.
Fit a drain off point and send the drips out through the soffit

Yes , insulate the ducting. Also a drain but id insulate first and see.
Ideally I'd arrange the duct so it slopes to the exit point but easier said than done IME
Now we are starting to see warmer weather you might see the problem go away anyway until winter, so monitor
