Professional extractor fan installation in Newton Abbot - your fan fitted, wired, and vented to outside so your bathroom or kitchen stays dry and mould-free.
### Stop Steam, Stop Mould
Bathrooms create moisture. Without extraction, it causes damp and mould. **Proper extractor fans remove it.** Vented outside, not into the ceiling void.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Fans with humidity sensors are brilliant - they switch on automatically when you shower and run until moisture levels drop. No need to remember anything.

Frequently Asked Questions about Extractor fan installation in Newton Abbot
Where does the air go?
Outside - through the wall or via ducting to an external vent. Fans that just vent into the loft cause damp problems up there. Proper installation means outside.
Do bathroom fans need to run after you leave?
Ideally yes - overrun timers keep the fan going for 10-15 minutes after you turn the light off. This clears remaining moisture. We fit fans with timers built in.
Can you replace my old noisy fan?
Yes - modern fans are much quieter. Same hole usually works. We swap old for new and set up any timer functions.
What about humidity sensors?
Some fans have built-in humidity sensors - they switch on automatically when moisture rises. Good for people who forget to use the fan. We can fit these.
