Dryers are a major source of humidity in the laundry, and if not vented properly, they can quickly turn the space into a breeding ground for mould. Vented dryers must expel hot, moist air directly outdoors, not into ceiling cavities or enclosed spaces.

Use rigid ducting over flexible ducting where possible, as it’s more durable and reduces lint build-up. Ensure the duct path is as short and straight as possible to prevent air restriction.

If you’re using a condenser or heat pump dryer, ensure it’s emptied regularly and placed in a space with good general ventilation. These dryers still produce heat and some moisture, even if they don’t need an external vent.
