How we approach extractor fans in Maidstone
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.
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.

Rules that apply in England

Questions from Maidstone
What area around Maidstone do you work in?
All of Kent. Near Maidstone that includes Snodland, Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham.
Should I get a fan with a humidity sensor?
A humidistat fan switches on when the air gets damp and runs until it clears, which suits family bathrooms and rentals where people forget the switch. A continuous-running fan is another good option.
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.
