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.

Questions about ventilation repairs and fault finding in Edinburgh
Which towns in Edinburgh do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, including Edinburgh. 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.
Are prices different in Edinburgh?
Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Edinburgh we use Scotland rates, so home repair or fault-finding visit, first hour (parts extra) is typically £90 to £160 inc VAT per visit.
