How we do it
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.
Kitchen extract and cooker hoods
A wall or window fan, or a cooker hood ducted outside rather than recirculating.

Questions about extractor fan installation in Dunbartonshire
Are prices different in Dunbartonshire?
Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Dunbartonshire we use Scotland rates, so like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £170 to £285 inc VAT per fan.
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.
Is the survey free in Dunbartonshire?
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.
Which rules apply to ventilation in Dunbartonshire?
In Scotland, ventilation is covered by section 3 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks. Private rented homes must meet the Repairing Standard, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
