Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ventilation systems and services in Sussex
How often should I replace my bathroom extractor fan?
Most quality bathroom extractor fans have a lifespan of 8-10 years with proper maintenance. Signs you may need a bathroom extractor fan replacement include excessive noise, reduced airflow, or complete failure to operate. Regular cleaning can extend the life of your fan. We recommend professional inspection every 2-3 years to assess performance and decide if replacement is necessary.
What ventilation system is best for a commercial kitchen?
The best commercial kitchen ventilation system depends on several factors including kitchen size, cooking equipment, and food type. Most commercial kitchens require a combination of extraction canopies with grease filters, supply air systems, and makeup air units. For restaurants with heavy frying or grilling, we recommend systems with enhanced filtration and odor control. Our team conducts thorough site assessments to recommend the most appropriate ventilation solutions for restaurants based on your specific requirements and local regulations.
How much does cooker hood installation cost?
Cooker hood installation service costs vary depending on the type of hood, ducting requirements, and installation complexity. Basic recirculating hood installations typically range from £150-£250, while externally vented systems with new kitchen hood ducting installation can range from £300-£600+. Commercial kitchen extraction systems start from £1,500. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after assessing your specific requirements during a site visit.
How do I know if my ventilation system needs servicing?
Signs your ventilation system needs professional bathroom fan servicing or maintenance include reduced airflow, increased noise, persistent condensation issues, or lingering odors despite the system running. For commercial systems, uneven air distribution, increased energy bills, or visible dirt accumulation are warning signs. We recommend scheduled preventative maintenance rather than waiting for problems to develop. Our comprehensive service includes cleaning, performance testing, and necessary adjustments or domestic extractor fan repairs.
