What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Crewe?
Our guide price for a bathroom extractor fan in Crewe is £235–£550 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for North West England, where prices are typically about 6% below the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Crewe
We cover every part of Crewe, including CW1 and CW2, and nearby Nantwich (3.8 miles) and Sandbach (4.6 miles).
Crewe has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. In Crewe 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 Crewe surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. Scale is a minor issue next to condensation, which is what a properly sized extractor fan is for. 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
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.
Intermittent or continuous
An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.
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.
