What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Luton?

Working in Luton
As well as Luton itself (LU1, LU2, LU3 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Dunstable, Harpenden and Hitchin.
In a city the size of Luton, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Fans fitted in Luton bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. For windowless bathrooms in Luton homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Water across much of Bedfordshire is very hard. Steam carries that scale onto mirrors and glass, so a fan that clears the room quickly helps on both counts. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
Decisions to make first
Axial, centrifugal or inline
Axial fans suit short, straight runs; centrifugal fans cope better with longer ducts; inline fans sit in the loft and are the quietest in the room.
Timer or humidistat
A timer keeps the fan running after the light goes off. A humidistat starts it whenever moisture rises, which suits rooms where people forget.
Rules that apply in England
In England, Approved Document F sets bathroom extract at 15 l/s for an intermittent fan or 8 l/s for continuous extract. Wiring a new fan alters a circuit in a room with a bath or shower, so it is notifiable under Part P.
