Nuaire Drimaster installation costs?

I have a residential Let that suffers from condensation and have struggled to find anyone that has knowledge of fitting a Nuaire Drimaster in the Leeds area. From what I have read up, this could solve the problems with mold appearing in certain spots. The quotes I have had to supply and fit are £1000+, which is a bit steep considering the actual unit from the manufacturer is only £320. Anyone know if Nuaire have a list of recommended installers?

    Hi Mazziee

    I read on one your post you were you managed to get a number for a Leeds electrician who has experience installing the Nuaire Drimaster. Would you mind private messaging me the number please. Like you I was quoted £1300.

    Thanks in advance

    Fit the unit yourself they are dead easy to do.
    I have fitted about 5 units.
    Sounds to me like somebody was quoting you a 'I don't want the job' price.
    This is a very similar product but I have no knowledge of the product or the company.
    I think they may be a franchise operation ??

    I fitted one and it was quite easy for somebody who doesn't mind working in a loft.

    This shows you how to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8sZY5EUA8I and Nuaire customer service are very good if you need additional help.

    Yes, they have their own installers. We had someone come round from them to give us a quote but it wasn't possible to install one in our flat.
