What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Surbiton?
In Surbiton, 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 Surbiton
We work right across Surbiton — KT1, KT5 and KT6 — and in neighbouring East Molesey and Esher.
London homes in Surbiton often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We check the duct route at Surbiton surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Surbiton 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.
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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
Intermittent or continuous
An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.
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.
