From From £145
A ceiling fan isn’t just a light fitting — it’s a 5–7 kg rotating mass that has to be fixed to structural timber, wired for the motor and remote, and balanced so it doesn’t wobble. We’ve fitted dozens of Watford bedrooms, living rooms and conservatories with modern DC-motor fans that barely register on the electricity bill.
