    It's criminal that they boxed in that ceiling!

    What's the hole with the cable on the back wall near the ducting?
    Looks like mains cabling, from another room, to feed the recessed spotlights.

    Recently we had some repair work to plasterboard of false ceiling of our bedroom.It is then we realised that bathroom extractor fan flexi pipe end in the void between our false ceiling and floor of the flat above.
    ...
    Any ideas?

    How typical for UK cowboys developers!
    Not long time ago I saw exactly the same:  flat, false ceiling etc. The only difference was that it was a plastic pipe, not a flexible hose.
    There was no any 'external vent' to locate.  The only solution was to drill a hole in the wall

    I used to know someone who did building work his first and middle names were John Wayne.  His business cards did not show his middle name for some reason?
