Bathroom & Kitchen Extractor Fan Installation

Humidity-sensing fans for bathrooms with no opening windows, kitchen extractors for cooking moisture, timed fans for ensuites. Properly fitted, properly certified.

From £95 fully fitted (replacing existing fan). New install with cable run £180-£280. Same-day completion.

What's in a fan install

Bathroom and kitchen extractor fans are required by Building Regulations Part F (ventilation) in any room without an opening window of adequate area. The fan must be the right size for the room volume + duct run, properly switched, and (in bathrooms zone 1/2) IP-rated for splash protection. We:

  • Calculate the correct fan size for your room volume (15 l/s for bathrooms, 30 l/s minimum for kitchens)
  • Choose the right type — humidity-sensing (most common for bathrooms), timed (ensuites without lights) or simple isolator
  • Install with proper IP-rated wiring zones in mind (Manrose, Vent-Axia, Envirovent are reliable brands)
  • Connect via a fused isolator / triple-pole switch outside the bathroom door (not in the bathroom — safety)
  • Test, certify, hand over

Most fan installs take 1-2 hours. New installs (no existing fan, cable needs running) take 2-3 hours depending on whether we can drop the cable through a void or chase a wall. We try to avoid wall-chasing wherever an existing void allows.

Extractor Fan questions

From £95 to swap an existing fan (including the new fan). New install with cable run, isolator and ducting: £180-£280 depending on access difficulty. Always fixed-price.

Bathrooms with showers: humidistat is best — runs only when humidity rises, avoiding noise complaints from neighbours. Ensuites with overrun timer also good. Kitchens: usually a separate cooker hood handles cooking moisture, but a backup wall fan helps.

Through ducting either to an external wall vent or up through the loft to a roof vent. We check existing ducting on swaps; for new installs we do the ducting too.

Bathroom fans are a notifiable Part P job (special location) so by law need a competent person. Kitchens are not notifiable but still need to be safe and tested. We just do it — certificate on the day.

1-2 hours for a swap. 2-3 hours for a new install with fresh ducting.

A correctly-sized humidistat fan ducted properly to outside is the best fix for a damp bathroom. We can also recommend a PIV (positive input ventilation) for whole-house condensation but that's a separate quote.
