Extractor fans for Leicester 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.

In England, ventilation is covered by Part F of the Building Regulations and its guidance, Approved Document F (2021 edition). It sets extract rates for kitchens, bathrooms and utilities and asks for mechanical ventilation to be commissioned and recorded.
Questions from Leicester
What area around Leicester do you work in?
All of Leicestershire. Near Leicester that includes Belgrave, Humberstone, Birstall and Braunstone.
What size extractor fan does a bathroom need?
In England a bathroom fan should extract at least 15 litres a second, measured at the fan, under Approved Document F. Long or bendy duct runs reduce flow, so the fan often needs to be rated higher than the minimum.
Can an extractor fan vent into the loft?
No. A fan should discharge to outside, because warm, moist air dumped in the loft condenses on the cold roof timbers and causes mould and rot there instead.
