Bathroom Extractor Fan Upgrade in Fenton
Leaks, re-seals, tile and grout repairs, shower swaps and quick fixes.
The number-one cause of black mould in Fenton bathrooms isn't damp — it's an undersized extractor ducted into a loft void. The steam has to go outside, not into the roof insulation.
We size the fan to room volume (minimum 15 l/s continuous, 60 l/s intermittent for bathrooms per Approved Document F), duct in insulated flexi to a fitted external cowl, and add a humidistat so it runs when the room actually needs it.
When Fenton homeowners ask us about bathroom repairs, the first thing we look at is the room itself.
Bathroom Extractor Fan Upgrade FAQs — Fenton
- Why does my Fenton bathroom still fog up with a fan?
- Nine times in ten it's ducted into the loft or is undersized. We survey the ductwork route and fan size before quoting — no guesswork on your Fenton install.
- Do I need a humidistat model?
- Strongly recommended — it runs the fan when humidity is actually high, rather than only on the light switch. Pays for itself in mould prevention.
- Can you duct through a masonry wall?
- Yes — core drilled through with a fitted external cowl. We survey the exterior first on Fenton jobs to avoid ducting under a windowsill or beside a boiler flue.
- How much does the upgrade cost?
- £220–£450 supply and fit for a spec-compliant fan, humidistat, ducting and external cowl. Fixed price after survey.
- Can you just re-seal around our bath?
- Yes — a fresh sanitary-grade silicone re-seal on a Fenton bath or tray takes around an hour and is usually fixed-price per perimeter.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Fenton home liveable while the work runs.
