What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Peterborough?
As a guide, budget £265 to £650 including VAT for a bathroom extractor fan in Peterborough; your written quote will pin it down. We adjust the national guide for East of England, where prices are typically about 6% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Peterborough
As well as Peterborough itself (PE1, PE2, PE3 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Stamford, March and Spalding.
Peterborough is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. In Peterborough flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. We check the duct route at Peterborough surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Water across much of Cambridgeshire 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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
Decisions to make first
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
Noise
Compare the stated noise level in decibels. Inline fans and low-speed continuous fans are much quieter in the room than budget axial fans.
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.
