Still Wiping the Mirror After Every Shower?
A fogged mirror twenty minutes after the shower has finished is the clearest sign an exhaust fan is not doing its job. If the room also smells musty, or the paint near the ceiling has started to lift, the moisture has been sitting there a long time.
There are two usual causes and both are common. The fan is undersized for the room, so it moves air without ever clearing it. Or the fan works fine but vents into the roof space, not outside, which simply relocates the problem into the ceiling.
The second one is worth taking seriously. Moisture pushed into a roof cavity every day does not evaporate, it condenses, and it eventually shows up as staining, mould or damaged plaster.
- A mirror that stays fogged long after the shower
- Paint lifting or bubbling near the bathroom ceiling
- A musty smell that never quite goes away
- A fan that is noisy but does not seem to clear anything
- Staining on the ceiling in the room above a bathroom
Get the Moisture Out of the House
A properly specified exhaust fan clears a bathroom in minutes rather than gradually. The mirror clears on its own, the room dries out, and the paint stops lifting.
Getting there is a matter of three things: a fan sized for the room, not the smallest one available, a duct run that actually goes outside, and switching that lets it run on after you leave.
That last point does more than people expect. A fan that stops the moment the light goes off has only cleared part of the moisture. A run on timer keeps it going long enough to finish the job.
Where the existing fan vents into the roof space we sort the duct as part of the work, because replacing the fan alone leaves the underlying problem exactly where it was.

Liam made the whole experience smooth and hassle free. He provided great advice and communicated in a friendly and professional manner. He was accommodating and flexible with my schedule and he left the area clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend him for future jobs.

We were so lucky that some friends recommended Liam. He's friendly, thoughtful, interested in solving problems, in a way that makes him a delight to deal with. We couldn't be happier with the results of his work and unlike other sparkies we've worked with, he turns up on time and even came back on his day off to make sure everything was working as it should. His prices are fair, and his work is of a very high standard. Couldn't be happier. We will definitely be hiring Liam for all future work in our house.

Exhaust Fan Questions
Usually because the fan is undersized for the room, or because it vents into the roof space rather than outside. Both are common and both are fixable, but replacing the fan without checking the duct only solves half of it.
Outside, through a wall, eave or roof vent. Venting into the roof cavity moves the moisture instead of removing it, and over time that causes staining, mould and damaged plaster in the ceiling.
Yes, with a run on timer. It keeps the fan going for a set period after the light is switched off, which is what actually clears the last of the steam. It is a small addition and makes a real difference.
Yes. Combination units are common in bathrooms and the replacement is straightforward provided the ceiling opening and switching suit the new unit. Tell us what is there now and we will confirm.
Not necessarily a safety issue, but noise often means an ageing motor or a fan working harder than it should against a restricted duct. It is worth checking the duct at the same time instead of assuming the fan is simply old.
It depends on whether an opening and duct already exist, where the fan needs to vent to, and the unit you choose. We look at the room and the roof space, then quote. Quotes are free.
