Service overview

## Extractor Fan Installation: what it is and when you need it

### What the service covers
Installing new extractor fans in bathrooms, en-suites, kitchens and utility rooms, replacing noisy or failed fans, and adding controls such as timers and humidity sensors.

### Who it is for
Homeowners refitting a bathroom or kitchen, anyone dealing with condensation or mould, and landlords improving ventilation in rented homes.

### When to consider it
When mirrors and windows stay steamed up, when mould appears on ceilings or grout, when an old fan is loud or has stopped working, or during a bathroom refit.

### Why use a registered electrician
Bathrooms are special locations under the wiring regulations. Fans must suit the zone they&#x27;re in, be wired with the right isolation and protection, and the work should be tested and certified.

What happens if it&#x27;s ignored

## The risks of putting it off
Poor ventilation and poor wiring both cause problems in wet rooms.

### Damp and mould
Moisture left in the room damages paint, plaster and grout.

### Shock risk
Fans in the wrong zone or without proper protection are dangerous.

### Fan failure
Badly fitted fans burn out early or rattle.

### Wasted money
An undersized fan simply doesn&#x27;t clear the steam.

### Common mistakes to avoid

- Fitting a fan that isn&#x27;t rated for its bathroom zone.
- Choosing a fan too small for the room.
- No overrun timer, so the fan stops before the steam has cleared.
- Ignoring a fan that has gone noisy or stopped.

In detail

## Extractor fans explained

### Bathroom fans
Bathrooms produce a lot of moisture in a short time. A correctly sized fan with an overrun timer keeps running after the light goes off, clearing steam before it settles on walls and ceilings.

### Kitchen and utility fans
Kitchens and utility rooms generate steam and cooking smells. A wall or window fan, or a fan linked to a cooker hood, helps keep the room fresh and dry.

### Timers and humidity sensors
Timer fans run on for a set period; humidity-sensing fans switch on automatically when moisture rises. Both help ventilation happen without anyone needing to remember.

### Replacing an old fan
Old fans often get noisy or stop working altogether. Replacing them is usually quick, and the existing wiring is checked at the same time.

### Fans during a refit
A bathroom or kitchen refit is the ideal time to fit a fan, alongside new downlights, so cables and ducting can be hidden.
