What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Ramsbottom?

Working in Ramsbottom
In Ramsbottom we cover BL0; we also cover Bury, 3.4 miles away, and Haslingden.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ramsbottom: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the duct route at Ramsbottom surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. For windowless bathrooms in Ramsbottom homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. Even so, condensation is the bigger problem in any bathroom, and a properly sized extractor is what deals with it. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
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.
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.
