Worth taking the front off the fan and seeing if there’s a mesh grille that has become clogged with dust from the bathroom redecoration. Our kitchen fan was struggling recently and this was the cause, although the buildup took years rather than months.
Sharkstar-
Yeah, I took the grille off, and everything looks fine. It's only been fitted for 4 or 5 months so not enough time for anything to build up. I did notice that one of the flaps on the exterior grille wasn't opening properly so put some silicon lubricant on it.
Anyway going to keep an eye on it, had the window slightly open as well as the fan on this morning and that seemed to make a difference.

We had an extractor fan fitted in our bathroom earlier in the year to combat the steam and condensation build up when having a shower. When it was first fitted you really noticed the difference, since then we've re-decorated the bathroom and I swapped the shaver socket for one of those wall mounted toothbrush chargers. This week I've noticed that there seems to be a lot more condensation building up when having a shower, water droplets running down the wall etc.
The fan looks to be working fine and is pulling air through so I'm at a bit of a loss as to why there's been a change in its effectiveness.
Anyone got any ideas? Could switching the shaver socket be effecting the power supply to the fan?
