What ventilation repairs and fault finding involves
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.
Commercial repairs
Extract fans, heat recovery units and AHUs.
Kitchen extract fans

All of Cumbria, including Whitehaven, Workington, Penrith, Ulverston and Carlisle. If your town is not listed, send the postcode and we will confirm.
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.
Why is water dripping from my ventilation?
Drips usually come from condensation in an uninsulated duct, a blocked condensate drain or a duct sloping the wrong way.
