WC extractor suitable for use with 6 metre of ducting

Hi
Detailed designs for the routing of the ducting for our internal ground floor WC were omitted by our architect, meaning that the proposed route at ceiling level from WC to extension roof isn't (aesthetically) possible.
We are now looking at ducting the extractor 6 metres under the floor, through the insulation to an air brick.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an extractor/ducting that can cope with this, given I have been told by the contractor that there isn't room for an in-line extractor in the wall/floor.
Cheers

An air brick will offer too much resistance to the air and should be replaced by a proper vent grillA kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
Go to the Ventaxia or Xpelair websites. Both have phone numbers for technical support. Explain the situation and rhe will offer a solution.
I have used both companies and both offer good advice.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0 -
XID 100 inline or a DX200 would do the job. 6m is nothing for these fansHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0

The only real issue with running extractor ducts under the floor and then (presumably) back up to the external grille is that you might get condensation forming in the ductwork...This is a system account and does not represent a real person.
