Hi, I need to replace an old extractor fan in a house I rent out. The bathroom has a lot of black mould on the ceiling and I'm wanting to prevent this from happening again. A fan with a humidistat that turns on when it gets too humid sounds like a good idea but is it as easy as just replacing...

I have just had a log cabin installed, it is being used as a gym.
I have installed an extractor fan to help with the flow of air. The extractor fan is located high up (see picture) and I am wondering where to position the vents to allow flow of air into the room (and then out through the...
I have just done my first workout in my new garden gym. I used my fan heater to get the temperature up to around 12°C which I find about right for a workout. However, the humidity was around 88% which is far too high. There was a lot of condensation on the windows.
My plan was to buy this Rhino...
This Candy CCE16/2X kitchen extractor hood fan is not working, the lights are still working but the fan itself is not. I know there’s a fair bit of grease on there as you can see but will that be the cause & are there any other things I can check myself to find out why?
I am putting in a new transformer for an extractor fan/light and I thought I had finished but the fan works ok but the light doesnt. I have put in new bulb.
I think i must have wired incorrectly
I've got a CDA ECP62SS/2 extractor fan that has gradually lost all suction until it's not even switching on anymore. Light still comes on so power is working, just no rotation in the motor at all. I've replaced the motor, capacitor, and switch, to no avail. Running out of ideas.

Hello,
Is it just me or is it harder to find external vents for extractor fans that come with fly screens? What has changed, is there some building regulation I am not aware off. The thought if a bare louvred grill just seems to be asking for bugs and creatures to come in.
Hi all,
I'm new here and looking for a bit of advice. I have a bathroom extractor fan with it's own independent pull-cord switch (see pic). There is also an isolator switch outside the bathroom. I'm doing some renovation and wondering if the isolator is actually necessary if the fan itself has...

Hi,
This is a DIY question (I am not electrical expert). I have an issue replacing a fan to a house I have just moved into. It didn't work when I moved in and looked old so purchased a new one. I have wired it up correctly (I think). I also have a live probe that beeps if wires are live. It...
Hi all.

My old one is on a timer and comes on with the light, turns off after around 2 mins.

Hi,
I'm updating our bathroom and I'm changing our extractor fan from a simple ceiling mounted one to a more powerful inline version (Blauberg) mounted in the loft.
The fan only had 2 wires - a black and a red.
It has an isolator switch outside the door in a twin switch plate shared with the...
Hello
I've recently bought a new build and was wondering if anybody knew a bit more info about the regs for extraction fans. I was sure a new build must have a timed fan in all bathrooms. However mine has a standard fan that comes on and off with the lights, I've took the fan apart to see if it...
