How we approach extractor fans in Dalkeith
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.
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 from Dalkeith
Do you cover Dalkeith and nearby?
Yes. We cover Dalkeith and nearby places including Mayfield, Bonnyrigg, Musselburgh and Tranent. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
How much does it cost to fit an extractor fan?
Replacing a fan on an existing duct usually costs £175 to £295 including VAT. A new fan through an outside wall is typically £345 to £545, and a fan ducted to outside through the loft £445 to £745.
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.
What is the price of new extractor fans in Dalkeith?
Guide prices for Dalkeith use Scotland rates: like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £170 to £285 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
