Choosing a fan by price or size ignores duct length, bends and resistance. Poor extraction can lead to condensation, mould complaints and unpaid callbacks.
Automatically handing the entire ventilation job to another trade means losing margin, splitting schedules and giving up control of the finished bathroom project.
Pricing only the fan overlooks ducting, controls, outlets and labour. Unexpected extras can quickly reduce your margin and turn what should have been a profitable job into a loss.
Follow a clear process to assess the bathroom, duct run and controls, so you can select a suitable ventilation solution for every job.
Plan and quote the ventilation work yourself, bringing in a qualified electrician where required instead of handing away the entire project.
Account for the fan, ducting, controls, outlet, labour and commissioning, so your price protects your margin from the very beginning.
Assess the bathroom. Specify the right solution. Quote the complete job. Deliver it with confidence.

Understand the problem: Identify what the customer is experiencing, how the bathroom is used and where the moisture is coming from.
Inspect the complete pathway: Check the fan, ducting, external termination, replacement air, controls and electrical supply before suggesting anything.
Record what matters: Use the survey process to collect the photographs, measurements and information needed to plan the job confidently.

Start with the simplest option: Learn why a direct wall installation is normally the first choice when the bathroom and property allow it.
Assess existing installations: Investigate wall, ceiling and inline systems to determine what can be cleaned, corrected, upgraded or retained.
Use alternatives only when needed: Understand when the property requires a ceiling, inline, soffit, roof or alternative external discharge route.

Understand the complete system: See how duct size, length, bends, insulation, terminals, fan type and controls work together.
Compare fans objectively: Evaluate airflow, pressure, noise, power consumption, IP rating, controls and installation limitations using practical comparison cards.
Match the solution to the job: Select suitable products for the property, installation route, customer priorities and problem being solved.

Price the complete installation: Account for labour, materials, access, ducting, controls and qualified electrical work where required.
Commission and hand over properly: Pre-check the installation, test its operation, set the controls and show the customer how it works.
Turn the skill into repeat business: Use the handbook, project photographs, customer reviews and your Google profile to build trust and win future work.
