extractor fan

Currently in the final steps of renovating a late '70s/early '80s Bungalow. The property originally had a warm air heating system powered by a gas boiler which was vented through the loft space via a 125mm flue and out of a vented ridge tile in the roof. The old warm air heating system has been...

Hi guys, Looking to install 2 extractor fans within my bathroom and en-suite. Would it be ok to run both through the same ducting? They are the Xpelair C4TSR's so they have the built in back draft shutters. I was thinking if I give them about a 2m-3m run before joining at the main outlet from...

Hi, I have an extractor fan in a bathroom,after lifting the floor boards above it turns out there is also an iine fan. How can I tell of it's working or not? I guess if it's not working it will create more resistance for the air pumped by the other fan.

Hi All, Just moved into my first house and the extractor fan in the bathroom looks like its seen better days. I'm afraid to turn it in because of that loose wire. Does this look like something that can be easily fixed or do I need to call out an electrician? Any advice would be much...

Hi, I've recently had this fan installed and I'm very confused to how it works. I think it has a humidity sensor and there is a timer on there as well. The electrian has set the timer but they said there's no numbers on the timer, so they don't know how long it's set for. So far I've counted...

Recently took the extractor hood and splashback down to replaced and noticed especially over the last few days thanks to storm eunice. You can see straight outside (n) no wonder the kitchens always felt cold,and never seems to hold the heat. Any advice on what vent I should get for the...

Hi All, I am currently having my bathroom refurbished. It is an ex council block of flats. The vent already in place appears to be a cover so not sure how this is meant to work i.e. extract steam. Also noticed that no other flat on the block appears to have an electric extractor fan. Can I...

Hi, I can't think of another word, but my Vent Axia VASF100T stopped working about a week ago. When I take off the fan cover to show the fan blades with the isolation switch on, the blades are what can best be described as twitching. They are rotating maybe 2mm ever second or so, but never...

Hi guys. Would you be able to help me? I am trying to replace my bathroom fan but I am not an electrician. First time in my life I see electrical connectors that are not labelled and that is my problem (or maybe I don't know what am doing). My old fan connection is: switched fused spur -->...

so I have a Manrose extractor fan and I’m trying to replace an old fan which is running through and isolation switch and controlled by the main pull bathroom light switch, I had it setup properly before somehow but the timer function was not working, I’ve been trying and trying and with the...

I have an Envirovent extractor fan with run-on timer, i.e. it has neutral, switched live and an extra unswitched live to power the run-on. I want to use it with a touch switch but it doesn't work. It will switch on OK but automatically switches off after a couple of seconds. The run-on works as...

The original fan was ceiling mounted with integral humidistat (Vent Axia Lo carbon). The ducting from the original fan was crushed in the ceiling void and did not work effectively. the fan ran continuously to try unsuccessfully to get the humidy down to the desired level (our bathroom has no...

Hi, Ive just fitted a backdraft cowl to my extractor fan, the flap only opens around 2cm, Im wondering if that means its not very powerful ? It does have a few metres of ducting to go through.

Hi, My bathoom extractor and kitchen one both just have slat type grilles, I'm wondering if they really should have those flap things on the ends ? Maybe the moisture is blowing back into the rest of the flat from the shower? Or maybe just a downward facing cowl ? They have square ducting...

Hi All, I have an en-suite and a bathroom right next to each other, the nearest soffit it about 6m away, there is a rafter above the bathroom and ensuite. I am thinking of the following in terms of options for ventilation. 4inch inline extractor fan I have the following questions, when...

Morning all, I’m currently trying to replace an old bathroom extractor fan. I presumed the motor had burned out because it’s long since stopped working and the property I live in is approx. 25 years old. I’ve wired it up what I think is the right way, but while the light comes on the fan...

I recently purchased this property and would like to know if this extractor fan is in the so called zone 1 . If so what can I do to rectify this? As it is mains connected and is not low voltage.

Hello, I'm struggling with condensation/black mould in the bathroom above the bath. I currently have a Manrose MF100T 4 Inch fan with a single extraction point above the shower. I'm planning to upgrade to the 6inch version but use a Y piece, so I can split the ducting to extract above the...

I want to install an extraction vent in the ceiling of the shower cubicle: Is this a done thing/recommended in general? If I use an inline extractor fan which is installed in the loft as shown above, does this count as a non-classified area (DIY fair game)? Are there any kits for this type...

Hello, Unexpectedly, my house bathroom's ceiling started leaking during the heavy rainy spell we got 2 weeks ago. As I am abroad, my neighbour went in to inspect the leak. He believes the leak is due to the extractor fan and the ventilation pipes. The pipe opening is through the roof which is...
