Extractor Fan Installation
Behind The Job

Why Ducting Route Matters More Than the Fan Itself

The fan unit gets most of the attention, but the ducting route is what actually determines whether extraction works. A fan venting into a loft space rather than outside just relocates the moisture problem, which is exactly what we find on a lot of older installations we're called out to fix.

Zoning matters just as much in a bathroom — fans and their switching need to be positioned and rated correctly for the wet zones they're near. We plan this properly as standard, along with humidity sensing or timer overrun depending on how the room's actually used, rather than fitting a generic fan and switch combination.

FAQs

Common Questions About Extractor Fan Installation

Will installing ducting mean going through an external wall or roof?
Usually yes, for a proper external vent — we'll explain the route and any making-good involved before starting.
Can you fix a fan that's already installed but not working properly?
Yes, we regularly diagnose and correct poorly ducted or wired existing fans, not just fit new ones.
Is an extractor fan a legal requirement in bathrooms?
Building Regulations Part F requires adequate ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens, particularly where there's no openable window — a correctly specified extractor fan is the standard way to meet this.
Where should extractor fan ducting actually go?
Out to the external air, ideally by the shortest practical route — venting into a loft space instead is a common shortcut that just moves the damp problem rather than solving it.
What's the difference between timer and humidity-sensing fans?
A timer runs for a set period after the light's switched on; a humidity sensor detects moisture in the air and runs automatically regardless of the light switch — useful for baths or showers left running without the light on.
Can a fan be wired to run with the light?
Yes, light-linked switching is a common and straightforward setup, alongside a timer overrun if you want the fan to keep running briefly after the light's off.
How noisy should a new fan be?
Modern fans are considerably quieter than older units — if your fan's noticeably loud, it may be undersized, poorly mounted, or simply due for replacement.
