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.

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.

Kitchen extract and cooker hoods

A wall or window fan, or a cooker hood ducted outside rather than recirculating.

Questions about extractor fan installation in Tayside

Are prices different in Tayside?

Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Tayside we use Scotland rates, so like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £170 to £285 inc VAT per fan.

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.
