If steam, smells or mould keep popping up, your extractor fan is probably the culprit. A broken or under‑performing fan can make cooking a nightmare and leave your bathroom humid. Knowing the early warning signs and how to fix them saves money and stops bigger problems down the line.
First thing to check – is the fan still making noise? A rattling or humming sound often means the motor or blades are dirty or loose. Next, feel the airflow. Hold a piece of paper near the vent; if it barely lifts, the fan is under‑performing. Finally, look for moisture or mould around the vent. That’s a clear sign the fan isn’t pulling air out fast enough.
Most homeowners think a quick clean will solve everything, and that’s true for light build‑up. But if the motor sputters, the fan won’t start, or the speed is off, you’ll need a professional service.
Simple fixes you can try yourself:
If these steps don’t restore proper airflow, it’s time to call a local extractor fan service.

Why choose a professional?

Regular maintenance makes a world of difference. Every six months, give the fan a wipe‑down and check for rattles. If you notice a drop in performance, book a service early – a small repair now beats a full replacement later.
Living in Bognor Regis means dealing with coastal humidity, which can speed up corrosion inside fans. That’s another reason a professional check‑up every year is a smart move.
