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. 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.

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.

Questions about extractor fan installation in North Yorkshire

Is the survey free in North Yorkshire?

For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.

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.

Which rules apply to ventilation in North Yorkshire?

In England, ventilation in new and altered homes is covered by Approved Document F of the Building Regulations. Landlords also have duties under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
