Questions from Wanstead
What is the price of a ventilation repair in Wanstead?
Guide prices for Wanstead use London rates: home repair or fault-finding visit, first hour (parts extra) is typically £115 to £200 inc VAT per visit. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
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.
