Are you asking yourself “Why does my bathroom smell musty?” I’m Nathan from Quality Electrician, your local extract fan specialist based in Bradford, resolving issues with bathrooms odours and condensation build up.
I make sure all electrical work such as wiring and including new circuits are in line with industry regulations and meet safety standards.
Back to top1) “Why does my bathroom smell musty?”
This is a very common problem, typically caused by excess moisture trapped within the bathroom after showers or baths. Poor air flow and lack of ventilation are major contributors, especially if your bath or shower room in Bradford doesn’t have an extractor fan installed.
If you do however have an extractor fan installed, but frequently experience odourful and humid air, the existing extractor fan may be outdated or faulty, needing expert attention.
Are you guilty of drying clothes in the bathroom? One full load of washing can actually hold up to 2 litres of moisture, releasing this into the air. Coupled with poor airflow, you’ll be experiencing musty and stale bathroom smells as well as the build up of condensation, especially on windows, tiles and shower screens.
Back to top2) How do I get rid of musty smells in my bathroom?
My expert advice as an extract fan specialist always points in the direction of installing more powerful, innovative and energy efficient bathroom fans. Modern systems include humidity sensors to speed up the fan motion where excess water is detected, right after a shower or bath.
A popular style I highly recommend is a DMEV fan or decentralised mechanical extract ventilation fan. This particular style works behind the scenes, moving stale air out and fresh air in, constantly throughout the day
Once an extractor fan is installed and used daily, moisture levels and associated odour generally subsides. You won't have to think “Why does my bathroom smell musty?” any longer.

Excess moisture in the air and odour particles can create poor air quality at your home in Bradford by encouraging the growth of black mould. This can be a trigger for individuals suffering from asthma or other breathing problems. Through extractor fan installation by a specialist such as Quality Electrician, you can make sure there is a constant flow of fresh air entering the bathroom.
If you are experiencing the after effects of excess moisture, condensation and black mould in the bathroom, you must find the musty bathroom smell and excessive cleaning a major inconvenience. As an extract fan specialist, I can make sure the right type of extractor fan is installed in your bathroom, regardless of size or shape.
By installing a bathroom extractor fan, such as a humidistat fan, you can prevent damage to your home, caused by black mould building up in concealed areas. Excess moisture and musty smells can indicate the presence of mould behind fixtures, in the corners of skirting boards and ceilings, tiles and the grout. The last thing you want is for any black mould to spread into hallways or bedrooms.
