Service Specific FAQs:

How Well Do Your Ventilation Systems Work?

Nobody wakes up one day and says, "I need extra ventilation", without good reason. Ventilation systems are usually ordered to solve a problem, or to prevent a problem before it occurs. We can fix condensation throughout a property, poor ventilation and removing bad smells in kitchens and w/cs - we can't fix water ingress, leaks or rising damp with ventilation alone.

In a nutshell, we will recommend and install a system we have a warm fuzzy feeling will put a real noticeable dent in the sort of symptoms you're currently experiencing. The sorts of ventilation systems we fit certainly aren't cheap, but they do produce the results, as many of our past clients have come to find out!

Can You Stop Black Mould?

Yes, by defeating the root cause ie condensation in a property, we'll be stopping the consistent moisture buildup that allows black mould to grow in places like on tiles, in tile grout, on silicone, on external walls, on windows, window surrounds and ceilings. To see if we can help, get in touch.

What Are Signs that I could benefit from Better Ventilation?

If you are suffering from general condensation, with the most obvious tell-tales being: Wet windows in the morning, wet glazing of tiles after a bath or shower, and the same again when cooking, you could benefit from better ventilation. If you also happen to suffer from mould in these areas, you certainly should be looking to improve your ventilation.

What is condensation?

Condensation is the 'wet' surfaces you'll find in your property, normally on cold surfaces such as windows, walls and ceiling. This is caused by moisture-laden air floating around your property touching these cold surfaces, and being relieved of the moisture content in the process known as condensing.

What Is Positive Input Ventilation (PIV)?

A PIV fan is a general-ventilation system that often sits in the loft, with a vent on your landing. A PIV pushes fresh air into the property, which forces the moisture laden air out of the property, before it gets the chance to absorb more moisture and condense on a cold surface, such as a window or external wall. In layman's terms, Positive Input Ventilation is achieved when you push fresh air from outside the property, into the property.

How much does it cost to replace a bathroom extractor fan UK?

The total parts and labour cost for replacing an existing bathroom extractor fan averages £120-£200 in the UK. DIY installation cuts this down to just £80-£150 for the fan itself and any electrical fittings or building supplies. Although at this sort of price, we wouldn't expect the fan to be up to the job!

To upgrade your extractor fan to something more substantial or to install an extractor fan system from fresh, you could be looking at between £400-900. In general, you do get what you pay for and we're fortunate enough to have become extractor fan installation specialists, for standard kitchen and bathroom settings, in both residential and commercial properties in the Medway & Maidstone region.

Do I need permission to install extractor fan?

In recent years, part F has started becoming more and more prevalent - and your local building control authority is likely to want to be in receipt of a ventilation certificate and building control notification when an extractor fan is installed.

Aside from that, if you rent, check with your landlord. For homeowners, planning permission generally isn't needed to add an internal extractor fan. However, external wall vents, especially on leasehold properties, may require approval from the freeholder and/or building control.

Can I install a PIV myself?

Strictly speaking, anyone potentially could install a PIV themselves. That doesn't mean to say that potentially anyone should! There are nuances and good practices to navigate (as with all technical work). A competent person will be able to install a PIV, which we would define as a contractor who's operatives regularly work on residential ventilation projects, such as extractor fans and PIVs, on a daily basis. Which is why we recommend you consulting a ventilation / residential HVAC specialist to carry out a PIV install. <a href="/blog/why-choose-niceic-registered-electrician-uk-2023">Which is why our clients just end up going for the low risk option and contracting us in to carry out the project.</a>
</p>

Will a PIV increase my electricity bill?

PIV systems are energy-efficient, with most costing only a few pence a day to run. The energy usage is comparable to an old-style light bulb.
