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.
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.

Questions about extractor fan installation in the Forth Valley
Which rules apply to ventilation in the Forth Valley?
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.
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.

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.
