How we do it
Common faults include worn fan bearings, failed capacitors and motors, condensate leaks, blocked filters, crushed or disconnected ducts, broken controls and humidity sensors that never switch the fan on. Sometimes repair is not worth it, and a modern replacement is cheaper to run; we will say so. For homes, a visit covers fans, PIV and MVHR.

Questions about ventilation repairs and fault finding in Bristol
Which towns in Bristol do you cover?
All of Bristol, including Bristol. If your town is not listed, send the postcode and we will confirm.
Is it worth repairing an old extractor fan?
Usually not for a basic bathroom fan, because a new fan costs little more than the repair. MVHR, PIV and commercial fans are often worth repairing.
Why is my extractor fan humming but not spinning?
A humming fan that does not spin often has a failed capacitor, seized bearing or obstruction. It should be switched off until repaired.
Are prices different in Bristol?
Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Bristol we use South West rates, so home repair or fault-finding visit, first hour (parts extra) is typically £100 to £170 inc VAT per visit.
Is the survey free in Bristol?
This is a charged visit because it is servicing, testing or repair work. We tell you the cost before booking. Surveys for new installations on the UK mainland are free.
