Yes. We cover Ferndown and nearby places including Wimborne Minster, Verwood, Canford Heath and Broadstone. Send your 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.
