What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Falkirk?
In Falkirk, a bathroom extractor fan typically costs £240–£600 including VAT, based on Scotland prices. We adjust the national guide for Scotland, where prices are typically about 4% below the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Falkirk
As well as Falkirk itself (FK1, FK2 and FK5), we survey in Grangemouth, Alloa and Cumbernauld.
In Falkirk, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Falkirk bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Falkirk flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need agreement from the other owners or the factor, so we raise it at the survey.
Water across much of the Forth Valley is soft. Even so, condensation is the bigger problem in any bathroom, and a properly sized extractor is what deals with it. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
Decisions to make first
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.
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 Scotland
In Scotland, the Technical Handbook also uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom. A replacement fan rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom may.
