Extractor fans for Lewes 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
English building work follows Approved Document F (2021 edition) for ventilation rates, installation and commissioning. 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 Lewes
Is the survey free in Lewes?
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.
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.
