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.
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.
Inline fans
A quiet fan in the loft serving one or two ceiling grilles in a shower room or en-suite.

Questions from Carrickfergus
Do you cover Carrickfergus and nearby?
Yes. We cover Carrickfergus and nearby places including Holywood, Newtownabbey, Bangor and Dundonald. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
What is the price of new extractor fans in Carrickfergus?
Guide prices for Carrickfergus use Northern Ireland rates: like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £160 to £270 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Is the survey free in Carrickfergus?
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.
