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.
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.

Rules in Wales
In Wales, ventilation follows the Welsh Approved Document F rather than the English version, with building control checking notifiable work. We design to the Welsh rates and commission mechanical systems so the results can be recorded.

Questions about extractor fan installation in Powys
Is the survey free in Powys?
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.
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.
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.
Which rules apply to ventilation in Powys?
In Wales, the Welsh Government's own Approved Document F (2022 edition) applies to ventilation in homes, with a new edition taking effect on 4 March 2027. Rented homes must be fit for human habitation under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
