- Free survey
A dMEV (decentralised mechanical extract ventilation) fan is a low-energy extract fan that runs continuously at a quiet trickle speed and boosts automatically when it senses humidity or a light switch. Because it never fully switches off, moisture is removed steadily instead of building up between showers.

What the work involves
dMEV fans replace ordinary intermittent fans in bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms and WCs. On trickle speed they are barely audible and use very little power; on boost they reach the higher continuous-extract rates in Approved Document F (in England, at least 13 litres a second for a kitchen, 8 for a utility room or bathroom and 6 for a WC). Landlords and housing associations often choose them because tenants cannot switch them off and forget them.
Bathroom and en-suite
Through-wall or ceiling fans with humidity-controlled boost.
Kitchen
Higher-rated continuous fans where a ducted hood is not practical.
Whole-home dMEV upgrade
Every wet room converted at once, with trickle vents checked in the habitable rooms.

How much does a continuous extract fan cost?
A dMEV fan usually costs £345 to £595 including VAT per room, supplied, fitted and commissioned. Converting several rooms in one visit brings the cost per fan down.
