Extractor fan repair in London
Silver Saints repair, replace and install bathroom and kitchen extractor fans across London. Noisy, dead, or running without clearing the steam. Most are sorted in one visit.
Plus parts. No call-out fee. Saturday at the weekday rate. Estimate before we start.
What we fix
A fan that has failed, a fan that is loud, or no fan at all. Most of the time the problem is the ducting rather than the fan itself, so we check both.
A fan that has stopped
Nothing happening when the light or the switch goes on, traced back to the cause.
A noisy or rattling fan
Usually a worn bearing, a loose housing or a build-up on the impeller.
Running but not clearing steam
The fan turns but the air is not going anywhere, which is normally the ducting.
Like-for-like replacement
An old fan swapped for a new one on the existing wiring and duct.
A new fan where none exists
Ducting run to an outside wall or soffit, and the cable route worked out.
Timer and humidity fans
A fan that runs on after the light, or starts itself when the air gets damp.
Inline and ducted fans
A fan mounted in the duct run rather than at the ceiling, for a quieter room.
Service and clearing
Impeller, grille and duct cleared of the dust and lint that kill airflow.
Condensation and mould
Extraction improved so the moisture leaves the room instead of the walls.
We work on axial, centrifugal, inline and ducted fans, timer and humidistat models, in wall, ceiling and window positions. That means ducting to an external wall or soffit, external grilles, fan isolators and wiring, and the bathroom electrical zones that decide what can go where.
If a fan needs a new circuit, or circuit alteration inside a bathroom zone, that is notifiable work and one of our NICEIC registered electricians does it. See specialist electrical installations.
Different job? For lights not working see lighting fault repair. For a switch or socket see sockets and switches, and for damp getting in around tiles see repairing and replacing grout.
What it costs
Labour only, charged by time. Parts are on top and you get an estimate before we start. The times below are typical, not fixed prices.
Where we cover
We cover all London boroughs plus the TW, KT, CR and BR postcode areas. London bathrooms are often internal with no window and a long duct run, which is exactly where extraction fails. Engineers cross central London by motorcycle and scooter, which means faster arrival and easier parking.
Landlords and letting agents
Condensation and mould complaints usually come back to extraction. A working fan, or a humidity-sensing one, deals with the cause rather than the mould.
We arrange access with your tenant or collect keys from your agent, so you do not need to attend.
Account invoicing and pre-approved spend limits are set out on our landlord services page.
The regulations that apply
Ventilation in homes is covered by Part F of the Building Regulations, and the electrical connection by Part P and BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations.
A bathroom fan has to meet a minimum extraction rate and be wired correctly for the zone it sits in, which is what decides where it can go.
For you that means a fan that actually clears the room and is safe where it sits. For a landlord or agent it means a defensible answer to a damp complaint.
Why Silver Saints
Extractor fan FAQs
Can you repair my extractor fan today in London?
Often yes. Silver Saints usually has same or next day slots for extractor fan repair in London, and every booking carries a one-hour arrival window.
How much does extractor fan repair cost in London?
Most repairs are £60 to £90 plus VAT in labour, plus parts. Silver Saints charges £60 plus VAT for the first half-hour, then £30 per half-hour.
Why is my extractor fan so noisy?
Usually a worn bearing, a loose housing or a build-up on the impeller. Silver Saints cleans and refits it, or replaces the fan if the motor has gone.
My fan runs but the bathroom still steams up. Why?
The air is not getting out. Silver Saints checks the ducting, the external grille and the duct run, which is where most London fans fail.
Can you fit a fan where there is not one already?
Yes. Silver Saints runs the ducting to an outside wall or soffit and works out the cable route, quoted on the day once we have seen the room.
Can a fan help with condensation and mould?
Yes. Better extraction removes the moisture before it settles, so Silver Saints often fits a humidity-sensing fan in a damp London bathroom.
What is a timer or humidity fan?
A timer fan runs on after the light goes off. A humidity fan starts itself when the air gets damp, which suits a bathroom with no window.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Silver Saints gives a 12-month guarantee on labour and on parts we supply for extractor fan work in London, against faulty workmanship or failed parts.
