What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Leicester?
In Leicester, a bathroom extractor fan typically costs £240–£600 including VAT, based on East Midlands prices.

Working in Leicester
We cover every part of Leicester, including LE1, LE3, LE4 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Wigston Magna (4.3 miles) and Earl Shilton (8.8 miles).
Leicester is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For windowless bathrooms in Leicester homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Leicester 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.
Supplies across most of Leicestershire are 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
Decisions to make first
Timer or humidistat
A timer keeps the fan running after the light goes off. A humidistat starts it whenever moisture rises, which suits rooms where people forget.
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 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.
