What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Romsey?

Working in Romsey
We cover every part of Romsey, including SO51, and nearby Totton (4.9 miles) and Eastleigh (6.7 miles).
Romsey gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Romsey bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. For windowless bathrooms in Romsey homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Water across much of Hampshire is 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- 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
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.
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.
