Replacing a bathroom extractor fan

Anonymous user 9 March 2024 - 2.51 PM

Hi all, our existing bathroom fan has suddenly become a lot louder and sounds on the verge of death. I'm not very handy and electric DIY doesn't seem the place to experiment! I don't know whether I should go online and try to buy some kind of replacement, then post a job here to have someone install, or post a job which asks for help purchasing. Can't tell much about the existing fan, it's NewLec brand and has an over-run of a few minutes, and doesn't look a million miles from this style: http://www.extractorfanworld.co.uk/st100t-silent-tornado-hi-power-bathroom-fan-with-timer-3435-p.asp It's a tiny bathroom, and I have no idea what's going on behind the wall in terms of wires or ducts. What's the best approach for this? I'm hoping this is a relatively quick fix that isn't going to break the bank, whether I buy something to be installed, or have a pro buy and install.
