I want to drill a hole through the external wall backing the loo to install an extractor fan assembly. The fan will be in the ceiling, and the duct will go from here in the loft space to the outer vent which will be in the cavity wall.. I don't like heights and would rather drill the vent hole from inside the loft, through the cavity wall to the outside. My worry is the the drill will split the wall on the outside and make a horrible mess on emerging. The chap from whom I will hire the drill and tool assures me that the tool will emerge from the outer wall cleanly without chipping it. Has anyone here had experience of this sort of thing, and reassure me???
