extractor fan

Hi all, 👋 I'm looking for a bit of advice. I'm trying to connect the ducting in our attic to an extractor fan using a universal reducer and a jubilee clip, as recommended by the roofer (they mentioned that they don’t handle this part of the job). The roofer said the reducer can be cut to size...

hi I have recently noticed a lot of water droplets in the loft mostly directly under the bathroom as well as mould near soffit vents when opening bathroom window. anyone know the cause of this ? can it be that the hot steam when showering having window open is traveling straight through the...

Hey guys, got a couple of fans (4 inch vent axia) to install for the bathroom and bedrooms. They are on the first floor. Electrician stated the following: “Well, providing you can supply double ladders - I have no vehicle roof rack for this height. I can install standard grills while paving...

So, I’m pretty confident i’ve followed the same setup as I had in the bathroom before (all be it before it wasnt working either) but I have an issue. New extractor Fan New Light Turn on light switch, light comes on. If i turn on extractor isolator switch (with light switch off), the fan and...

Hi everyone, I have a bathroom extractor fan that has a medium pitched hum; which disappears when I quarter cover the inside grill. I get the same reduction in hum when I cover the outside grill by three quarters rather than one quarter. On the bench unrestricted It runs smoothly with no hum...

Hi, I had a few questions regarding on getting an extractor fan installed in the bathroom. It seems that the guy before placed a vent cover on where the extractor should be, and I don't think ducting needs to be done. How long would it take to install a bathroom extractor? What's the average...

Hi, Hoping someone might understand this because we are completely baffled! Our bathroom fan has started running intermittently. Previously it would turn on with the light (pull cord) and then run for a short time after. We've now got a problem with mould so finally sorting it out this...

I've got a xpelair simply silent CV4SR installed in an ensuite bathroom that I think is louder than it should be. It's always been like this since it was fitted appropriately 6 months ago. I had no reason to think anything was up with it until my in-laws got a similar extractor fitted recently...

Hi, I just had a new extractor fan installed in my bathroom but the electrician didn't seem to know what he is doing and I am anxious. Can you guys help me to see if there is any danger with the installation? I bought Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon Revive SELV7 Continuous Running Fan (24v), because the...

Hi guys, this may sound really thick but the lightbulb to my extractor fan in the kitchen has gone and I’m trying to replace it but I can’t figure out how to get access to it. Does anyone know how to remove the glass without damaging it? I’ve tried to budge it, push the clips in, get something...

Can anyone recommend a really quiet bathroom extractor fan, for a 100mm diameter duct? I’ve just had installed the Sterr Quiet Bathroom Fan Humidity Sensor 100 mm / 4" – LFS100-QH and it’s like living in an aircraft hangar. My bathroom is tiny (about 2m x 2m) so I don’t need anything too...

I'd like some help wiring a non-timer extraction fan to the ceiling light, controlled by the same switch. I.e., light on, fan on. Light off, fan off. I watched some YouTube videos and tried to map my toilet setup to what I learned online. Here's my understanding, please correct me/point me in...

*as I’d like them to! Hi - my dad replaced some extractor fans for me (we thought it would be simple straight swap). But they’re not operating as expected. Previously: 1 (shower room) came on when the lights were switched on and stayed on for a period after lights turned off 2 (en-suite) was...

Hi My cooker hood extractor motor sounds like it is about to fail, hums and doesn't move initially or it screams for the first minute before working as it should. I've removed it as I thought it may have a capacitor that I could change but it doesn't and it moves freely as well so just think the...

Heya, Rennovating a small ensuite and need to come up with a better plan for the extractor fan. The previous one was installed at around waist height, extacting into a cavity between a stud wall and external brickwall. As you can imagine, the bathroom that was also windowless, was very damp and...

We’ve recently replaced our bathroom extractor fan as it wasn’t working and didn’t have an isolator switch. We’ve wired up the 3 core + earth cable to the junction box above our bathroom light fitting (the light, the switch, supply and next room are wired into it). From there it runs to the...

I'm trying to work out how to ventilate my new downstairs bathroom. It's got one external wall that is the obvious route. However, my house is on the side of a hill, with a bank of earth against my wall that means if I go straight out, it will get no end of crud in there. I was thinking of...

Is it possible to wire up the XPELAIR DX150HTS to a 3 pin plug and make use of the humidity sensor and timer functionality? I'm using it in a garage/gym and want to leave it plugged in and have it turn the fan on when it detects high levels of humidity. I've got it wired up with the LEN to the...

Hi all, I had an old extractor fan that comes on with the light switch. Next to the fan there's a switch that can be used to turn the fan off even if the light was on. The old fan had 2 live wires, one neutral and one earth going into it. The new replacement fan only has one live and one neutral...

I recently had a new extractor fan fitted in my bathroom. It is wired into the lighting circuit and comes on when the lights are turned on and switches off with the lights too. There is an isolation switch fitted outside the bathroom, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Whether the isolator is...
