What the work involves

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.

Kitchen extract and cooker hoods

A wall or window fan, or a cooker hood ducted outside rather than recirculating.

Like-for-like replacement

A new fan on the existing duct and wiring, often with an overrun timer or humidity sensor.

New fan through an outside wall

Core drilled, sleeved, wired from a fused spur and sealed outside.

Questions about extractor fan installation in County Antrim

Is the survey free in County Antrim?

Visits here are by arrangement. Because of the ferry or long travel involved, we quote travel separately and in writing before you commit, and we can often combine visits to keep the cost down.

Do you need building regulations for a new extractor fan?

Fitting or replacing an extractor fan has to meet the ventilation and electrical rules, and certain electrical work is notifiable. We do the work to the current standards. Electrical work that is notifiable is certified by a registered electrician, and you get a copy of the certificate and our airflow readings.

How long does fitting a fan take?

A straight replacement takes an hour or two. A new fan with a core-drilled hole or a duct through the loft usually takes half a day.

Which rules apply to ventilation in County Antrim?

In Northern Ireland, ventilation is covered by Technical Booklet K of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). Workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993.
