Working in Canary Wharf

We work right across Canary Wharf — E3, E14 and SE16 — and in neighbouring Bow and Canning Town.

In Canary Wharf, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Fans fitted in Canary Wharf bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Canary Wharf bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.

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
  • A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in

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.

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.

Extractor fans & ventilation in Canary Wharf: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom extractor fan in Canary Wharf?

A bathroom extractor fan in Canary Wharf usually costs £300–£750 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the water hard in Canary Wharf?

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom extractor fan in Canary Wharf?

Building control for Canary Wharf is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a bathroom extractor fan take?

Allow half a day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Canary Wharf.

Is an extractor fan a legal requirement in a bathroom?

For a newly formed bathroom, yes: building regulations require extract ventilation. On a refit of an existing bathroom, the rules focus on not making ventilation worse, so an existing fan should not be swapped for a less effective one. In practice, almost every bathroom is better with a working fan.
