Extractor fans for St Leonards-on-Sea 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.

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.
