Preston is postwar brick, weatherboard and workers’ cottages, much of it renovated and extended, with bathrooms and laundries of every vintage. FreshDuct cleans and repairs their exhaust fans so each wet area actually clears the air.
Extension added a bathroom but the fan barely works? The ducting is usually rushed.
Preston is a busy northern suburb of postwar brick, weatherboard and older workers’ cottages, a lot of it renovated and extended as the area has changed. That building history means the exhaust fans range from tired originals to brand-new units in fresh extensions — and the new ones are not always ducted properly.
The common shortcut is running a new fan’s duct straight into the roof cavity rather than out to the eave, so a smart new Preston bathroom still traps moisture. We clean the older fans, check the newer ones, and trace every duct run so the whole home is genuinely extracting to the outside.
The things we check first on a Preston exhaust fan — based on the local homes, fans and ventilation we see.
New Preston bathrooms often have the fan duct run into the roof to save time. We trace it and re-connect it to the eave so the moisture actually leaves.
With wet areas from different eras, the fans vary a lot. We clean and test each one so the whole home extracts consistently.
A fan venting into the roof soaks the timbers and grows mould out of sight. We correct the duct and clear any mould around the vent.

A Preston home that has been extended over the years usually has fans of several ages, and the newest is often the worst ducted. We clean each fan, test the extraction, and follow the ducting to see where the damp air is actually going.
Where a duct dead-ends in the roof or has come apart, we re-connect it to the eave or replace the run entirely. Every fix is photographed so you can see the moisture now has a genuine path out of the house.
FreshDuct cleans and repairs exhaust fans across Preston and Preston East 7 days a week, and we are regularly nearby in Reservoir, Coburg, Northcote and Bundoora, so a Preston job fits easily into our schedule.
From the cottages near High Street to the postwar streets towards Regent, we can usually offer a prompt appointment and prioritise a new bathroom that still fogs 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.

Almost always because the fan was ducted into the roof cavity during the extension rather than out to the eave, so the moist air never leaves the house. We trace the duct, re-connect it to the outside and confirm the bathroom now clears quickly.
Yes. Cleaning the fan is only half the job. We trace the duct behind every exhaust to make sure it reaches the eave or roof vent and is not disconnected or dumping moisture into the roof space, then fix it if it is.

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.
