Sunshine mixes postwar brick with newer townhouses and estate infill, so the exhaust fans range from tired originals to builder-grade units. FreshDuct cleans, repairs and re-ducts them so every wet area actually extracts.
New townhouse but the fan just spins? Builder-grade fans are often the weak link.
Sunshine is a changing inner-western suburb where postwar brick and weatherboard homes sit alongside a growing number of townhouses and estate infill. That mix means the exhaust fans span decades — a tired original in an older home, or a cheap builder-grade unit in a brand-new townhouse.
The new fans are often the surprise: chosen to meet the minimum, they spin quickly but barely extract, so a new Sunshine bathroom fogs and grows mould in its first year. We clean the older fans, test the newer ones, and upsize or re-duct where a builder-grade unit was never up to the job — so every wet area genuinely clears the air.
The things we check first on a Sunshine exhaust fan — based on the local homes, fans and ventilation we see.
New Sunshine townhouses often have the cheapest fans. We test the real extraction and upsize the ones that spin but move no air.
New builds duct to the eave, but the run is sometimes crimped or disconnected. We check it so the fan actually vents outside.
Older Sunshine homes have worn fans that barely turn. We clean or replace them so the bathroom clears the steam.

A new Sunshine townhouse can look perfectly finished and still trap steam, because the builder fitted the cheapest exhaust fan and it barely moves air. We test the real extraction of each fan and check the duct run to the eave.
Where a builder-grade unit cannot clear the room, we quote a properly sized replacement and confirm the ducting vents outside. Everything is photographed so you can see the airflow difference between the old fan and the new.
FreshDuct cleans and repairs exhaust fans across Sunshine, Sunshine North and West 7 days a week, and we are regularly nearby in Footscray, Werribee, Point Cook and Essendon, so a Sunshine job fits easily into our schedule.
From the postwar streets near the station to the newer townhouse estates, we can usually offer a prompt appointment and prioritise a new bathroom that is already fogging up.
A thorough, documented clean and check — every fan, grille and duct run inspected so your bathroom, kitchen and laundry actually clear the air.
We check every exhaust fan — bathroom, kitchen and laundry — the grille, motor, blades and where the ducting actually runs.
A simple airflow test tells us whether the fan is genuinely pulling air out or just spinning and blowing dust around.
Grille, blades, motor housing and cover cleaned of dust, lint and grease so the fan moves the air it is meant to.
We trace the duct to the roof or eave, clear blockages, and flag any fan that vents into the roof cavity rather than outside.
A seized motor, a noisy bearing or a fan past its life — we free it up, replace the unit or fit new ducting, quoted first.
A clear before-and-after with photos and honest advice on airflow, moisture and whether the fan needs replacing.

Very likely. Builders often fit the cheapest exhaust fan to meet the minimum, and it spins fast but moves little air. We test the real extraction, upsize the fan if needed and confirm the duct vents to the eave so the new bathroom clears.
Yes. New builds usually duct to the eave, but the flexible run is sometimes crimped, kinked or disconnected in the roof, so the fan vents nowhere. We trace and clear the run and confirm the fan is genuinely extracting outside.

A standard clean is a fixed, affordable price per fan, with a better rate for the whole home. The cost only changes if a fan needs a new motor, a full replacement unit or new ducting — and we quote that clearly before we do anything. Call 04 3191 8137 for pricing.
Every one to two years for a bathroom or laundry fan, and more often for a kitchen fan that pulls cooking grease. Dust, lint and grease build up on the grille and blades and slowly choke the airflow, so a regular clean keeps the fan actually extracting the moisture and steam.
Usually one of three things: the grille and blades are clogged with dust so the fan cannot move air, the motor is worn and spinning slowly, or the ducting is blocked, disconnected or vents into the roof cavity instead of outside. We check all three and get the fan extracting properly again.
Bathroom, kitchen and laundry fans cleaned, freed up, re-ducted or replaced — grille, motor and ducting checked, with before-and-after photos. Available 7 days.
