Extractor fans for Ashton-under-Lyne 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.

Like-for-like replacement

A new fan on the existing duct and wiring, often with an overrun timer or humidity sensor.

New fan through an outside wall

Core drilled, sleeved, wired from a fused spur and sealed outside.

What size extractor fan does a bathroom need?
