How we approach extractor fans in Bodmin
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. For England, Approved Document F gives minimum intermittent extract rates: 15 litres a second for a bathroom, 30 for a kitchen with a cooker hood (60 without one), 30 for a utility room and 6 for a WC.
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.

Rules that apply in England
In England, ventilation is covered by Part F of the Building Regulations and its guidance, Approved Document F (2021 edition). It sets extract rates for kitchens, bathrooms and utilities and asks for mechanical ventilation to be commissioned and recorded.
Questions from Bodmin
Do you cover Bodmin and nearby?
Yes. We cover Bodmin and nearby places including St Austell, Newquay, Truro and Saltash. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
Should I get a fan with a humidity sensor?
A humidistat fan switches on when the air gets damp and runs until it clears, which suits family bathrooms and rentals where people forget the switch. A continuous-running fan is another good option.
What is the price of new extractor fans in Bodmin?
Guide prices for Bodmin use South West rates: like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £180 to £305 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
