Cleaning, repair, replacement, brand-new installations, mouldy bathrooms, greasy rangehoods, whole apartment blocks. FreshDuct handles the lot across Sydney, 7 days a week – we test what your fan is actually extracting, fix the cause, and photograph the job before and after.
Tick two or more and it is time to book — every one of these gets worse, never better, on its own.
Sydney’s problem is humidity, and it does not switch off in winter. Air that is already carrying moisture cannot absorb much more, so a shower in a Sydney bathroom leaves the room wet for longer than the same shower in a drier city – and an underperforming fan has far less margin before mould appears.
The second factor is density. A huge share of Sydney bathrooms sit in apartments with no window at all, extracting through a shared riser that serves the whole stack. When that riser or its roof fan is neglected, every apartment above it loses extraction at once – which is why so many of our Sydney callouts end up being building problems, not unit problems. We service single apartments and whole blocks.
Every shower pushes litres of water into the air as steam. Every fried dinner releases grease vapour. That moisture and grease has exactly two options: get extracted outside, or settle into your ceilings, walls, wardrobes and lungs. The exhaust fan is the only thing standing between the two – and it is usually the least maintained appliance in the house.
A fan that has quietly lost its suction does not announce itself. It just lets the bathroom stay damp a little longer each month, until one day there is mould on the ceiling, the paint is lifting, and the bedroom next door smells musty. By the time you can see the problem, the fan has usually been underperforming for years.
FreshDuct treats ventilation as one system. The same team that cleans your ducts and treats mould also services, repairs, replaces and installs exhaust fans – so you get one diagnosis and one fix, not three trades blaming each other.
Cleaning is the answer when the fan spins strongly but the grille and blades are furred with dust, or airflow has faded gradually. Years of lint and dust can cut a fan’s extraction dramatically – and a clogged fan motor runs hot, which shortens its life. Our deep clean covers the grille, blades, housing and accessible ducting.
Repair makes sense when the fan has stopped, hums without spinning, rattles, or trips a switch – and the unit itself is worth saving. Our technicians diagnose on the spot and tell you honestly whether a repair will last.
Replacement wins when the motor is worn out or the fan was always too small for the room. A like-for-like swap where wiring and ducting already exist starts from $250 as a complete job – typically $280 to $480 depending on the fan you choose. We only recommend it when repair genuinely is not worth your money, and we will say so plainly either way.

Branded vans, uniformed technicians, professional equipment — the team your neighbours already know.
The classic test: hold a single sheet of toilet paper up to the running fan. A healthy fan pins it to the grille. If it flutters or falls, the fan is moving air in name only – dust load, a tired motor or blocked ducting is robbing the suction.
A like-for-like replacement, where the wiring and ducting already exist, starts from $250 as a complete supply-and-install job and typically lands between $280 and $480 depending on the fan. Installing a fan in a brand-new location, with wiring and ducting to the roof or eave, generally runs $550 to $1,200. Always a firm quote before work starts.
Very often, yes. If the motor is healthy, a deep clean of the grille, blades and housing restores most of the lost airflow – and we will tell you honestly when cleaning is all it needs.
Usually one of three reasons: the fan has lost suction to dust load, it is too small for the room, or it vents into the roof cavity instead of outside – which just moves the moisture problem above your ceiling. We diagnose which on the spot.
Yes. New-location installations – including bathrooms with no window, ensuites, laundries and toilets – include the full duct run to the roof or eave, so the moist air genuinely leaves the building rather than moving upstairs.
No. We work off drop sheets, vacuum as we go, and the room is left as we found it minus the dust. Ceiling work is the messy part and it is exactly the part we contain – most customers cannot tell we were there apart from the airflow.
Yes – single apartments, whole blocks for strata and owners corporations, and rental properties for landlords and agents, with documentation and photo reports for compliance records.
A clean or straightforward repair usually takes under an hour on site. A like-for-like replacement is typically one to two hours. New installations depend on wiring and duct runs – we tell you before we start, not after.
All the majors available in Australia. We recommend a fan sized to the room – extraction capacity matters far more than brand – and we will never upsell a bigger unit than the room needs.
All metropolitan Sydney, 7 days a week, plus a full exhaust fan service in Sydney. Same-day slots are available most days.
Yes – that is the advantage of one company. The ventilation gets fixed so the cause is gone, and our mould remediation team treats the ceiling, walls or grout so it does not simply grow back.
A handyman can hang a fan. The question nobody else asks is whether the fan was the problem – because a crushed duct, a blocked discharge or a fan half the size the room needs all look identical from below. We test the airflow first, so you do not pay for a new fan that changes nothing.
FreshDuct runs exhaust fan cleaning, repair, replacement and installation across all metropolitan Sydney, 7 days a week – from Penrith to Hornsby, Blacktown to Cronulla. Same-day slots are available most days, and every job ends with before and after photos so you can see exactly what was done. Suburbs we cover include Bondi, Randwick, Parramatta, Chatswood, Manly, Newtown, Surry Hills, Ryde, Hornsby, Liverpool, Penrith, Cronulla, Bankstown, Blacktown and everywhere between.
Exhaust fans do not fail in isolation. Blocked ducting, a clogged discharge point or an undersized fan all produce the same symptom: damp that will not leave. Because FreshDuct also cleans ductwork, treats mould and services dryer vents and rangehoods, our technicians diagnose the system, not just the appliance – so you get one answer instead of three trades pointing at each other.
Fan replacement from $250 complete. New-location installations $550 to $1,200 depending on wiring and duct runs. Inspections $99. No call-out fee, a firm quote before any work starts, and payment only after the job is done. If a no-cost fix is the right answer – a blocked grille, a switched-off isolator – we tell you that too.
Mould sprays and squeegees treat symptoms. Working extraction removes the cause: the moist air itself. If your bathroom fogs up and stays fogged, the highest-value hour you can spend on your home this month is the one where a technician restores real airflow to that room.
Same-day slots most days, 7 days a week, right across metropolitan Sydney — and if your suburb is not listed, it is almost certainly still covered. Just ask.
