Continuous extract fans (dMEV) in Worcestershire
Quiet low-energy fans that run all the time and boost automatically when humidity rises, across Worcestershire.
- From £345 inc VAT per fan
- 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.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Worcestershire, from Kidderminster, Great Malvern, Bromsgrove, Evesham and Droitwich. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

How we do it
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.
Commissioned and recorded
Trickle and boost rates measured and written on a commissioning sheet.
Bathroom and en-suite

No. dMEV fans use very little electricity on trickle speed, typically a few watts, so running costs are low compared with the condensation and mould they prevent.
