You could fit any old crap thats cheap. A decent fan to duct out costs money .

Whats the length of the duct ?

I always use the Manrose CFD200T when I do through ceiling extractors,,, I get them for <£40 as a complete kit including 2 x flexi ducts and 2 x grills (internal and external)

I'm not moaning at £50 I just know what they will say they've already said they can get one for £12 from screwfix

Also the greenwood was a pita to wire as I had to use flex and a jb as a 3 core wouldn't go into the fan bad design IMHO

Let them get the fan then if it doesn't work its not your problem. Don't you love customers like this.

I struggle getting through to clients that, if it says wall fan then it is a wall fan. If however it says wall or ceiling fan then it is ok for the ceiling coz it sez it in the destructions!

One client knew better, 10 months on the bearings collapsed, melted the plastic holding the bearing in, fan seized, new fan. They contacted the manufacturers, their reply was " move off in short jerky movements. We never said it was suitable for a ceiling as IT IS A WALL FAN "

Bit more info

Been to look at job tonight, who ever fitted it previously has ducted from fan using soil pipe vertical for about 2 metres to the roof.

Client says it keeps dripping with condensation

And has now stopped

I've suggested putting a direct in line fan and maybe bigger than 100mm in, it's a funny situation as the bathroom is in the middle of the house and its terraced so no external walls.

Any thoughts !

Today I installed a Manrose XF100T,,, it said on the box that it was suitable for wall and ceiling mounting.

As for the drip you could fit a condensation trap
