What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Holloway?
In Holloway, a bathroom extractor fan typically costs £300–£750 including VAT, based on London prices. Labour costs in London put local prices at about 25% above the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Holloway
In Holloway we cover N7, N19 and NW5; we also cover Highbury, 1.1 miles away, and Archway.
In Holloway, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For windowless bathrooms in Holloway homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. Fans fitted in Holloway bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Water across much of Greater London is 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
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.
