Extractor fan installation in East Sussex

We fit bathroom, kitchen and utility fans across East Sussex, sized to the room rather than the cheapest box.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout East Sussex, from Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Hove and Bexhill-on-Sea. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

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. 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.

Inline fans

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

Rules 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.
