Extractor fans for Penrith homes
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.

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). For homes, it sets minimum extract rates such as 15 litres a second for a bathroom and 30 or 60 for a kitchen, and expects mechanical systems to be airflow-tested.
Questions from Penrith
Is the survey free in Penrith?
For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.
What size extractor fan does a bathroom need?
In England a bathroom fan should extract at least 15 litres a second, measured at the fan, under Approved Document F. Long or bendy duct runs reduce flow, so the fan often needs to be rated higher than the minimum.
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.
