What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Ely?
As a guide, budget £265 to £650 including VAT for a bathroom extractor fan in Ely; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in East of England run at about 6% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Ely
We cover every part of Ely, including CB6 and CB7, and nearby Newmarket (12.3 miles) and March (12.8 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ely: free survey, written quote, one team. Fans fitted in Ely bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Ely flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire are 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
Wall or ceiling
A wall fan on an outside wall is the simplest. A ceiling fan over the shower takes steam away at source but needs ducting through the loft.
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.
