How we approach extractor fans in Saltcoats
Many existing fans were never doing their job: undersized, ducted into the loft space, fitted with a flex duct crushed in the joists, or switched off by occupants because they were noisy. The rate a fan delivers through a real duct run is often far lower than the number on the box, which is why we size to the room and test the result.
New fan through an outside wall
Core drilled, sleeved, wired from a fused spur and sealed outside.
Ducted to outside through the loft
Insulated duct to a roof, ridge or soffit outlet so warm moist air does not condense in the loft.

Questions from Saltcoats
What is the price of new extractor fans in Saltcoats?
Guide prices for Saltcoats use Scotland rates: like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £170 to £285 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
How much does it cost to fit an extractor fan?

Can an extractor fan vent into the loft?
No. A fan should discharge to outside, because warm, moist air dumped in the loft condenses on the cold roof timbers and causes mould and rot there instead.
