What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Ilford?
Our guide price for a bathroom extractor fan in Ilford is £300–£750 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for London, where prices are typically about 25% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Ilford
As well as Ilford itself (E18, IG1, IG2 and 5 more postcode districts), we survey in Barking, Becontree and Dagenham.
London homes in Ilford often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Ilford 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. We check the duct route at Ilford surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- 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
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.
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.
