What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Becontree?
In Becontree, a bathroom extractor fan typically costs £300–£750 including VAT, based on London prices. Prices in London run at about 25% 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 Becontree
We work right across Becontree — IG3, RM8 and RM9 — and in neighbouring Dagenham and Barking.
London homes in Becontree often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We check the duct route at Becontree surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. For windowless bathrooms in Becontree homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Supplies across most of Greater London 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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
