What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Brixton?

Working in Brixton
In Brixton we cover SE5, SE24 and SW9; we also cover Peckham, 1.7 miles away, and Battersea.
London homes in Brixton often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. In Brixton flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. If your Brixton home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply.
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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
