What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Lincoln?

Prices in East Midlands run at about 4% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Lincoln
As well as Lincoln itself (LN6), we survey in Gainsborough, Newark on Trent and Sleaford.
Lincoln is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We check the duct route at Lincoln surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Lincoln bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of Lincolnshire has hard water. 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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.
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.
