What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Inverness?
In Inverness, a bathroom extractor fan typically costs £240–£600 including VAT, based on Scotland prices. We adjust the national guide for Scotland, where prices are typically about 4% below the UK average. Travel and delivery to islands and remote areas are priced on your quote. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Inverness
We cover all of Inverness, including IV1 and IV3, and nearby Nairn and Fort William.
In a city the size of Inverness, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. In Inverness flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need agreement from the other owners or the factor, so we raise it at the survey. Fans fitted in Inverness bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Water across much of the Highlands and Islands is 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
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.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Technical Handbook also uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom. A replacement fan rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom may.
