What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Peckham?
In Peckham, a bathroom extractor fan typically costs £300–£750 including VAT, based on London prices. 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 Peckham
As well as Peckham itself (SE5, SE14 and SE15), we survey in Brixton, Greenwich and Catford.
In Peckham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. In Peckham flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. We check the duct route at Peckham surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
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.
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.
