Working in Wimbledon

As well as Wimbledon itself (SW17, SW19 and SW20), we survey in Morden, Mitcham and Putney.

In Wimbledon, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We check the duct route at Wimbledon surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. In Wimbledon flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.

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

  • Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
  • Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
  • A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
  • Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft

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.

Axial, centrifugal or inline

Axial fans suit short, straight runs; centrifugal fans cope better with longer ducts; inline fans sit in the loft and are the quietest in the room.

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.

More about extractor fans & ventilation

Extractor fans & ventilation in Wimbledon: questions

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

A bathroom extractor fan in Wimbledon usually costs £300–£750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Wimbledon?

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 Wimbledon?

Building control for Wimbledon 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 Wimbledon.

Can a bathroom fan vent into the loft?

No. A fan must be ducted to the outside, through a wall, a soffit or a roof vent. Venting into the loft just moves the moisture there, where it condenses on cold timbers and can lead to rot and mould.
