Working in Norwich

As well as Norwich itself (NR1, NR2, NR3 and 4 more postcode districts), we survey in East Dereham, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.

Norwich 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 Norwich surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Norwich bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.

Most of Norfolk has very 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

  • Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
  • 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
  • A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous

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.

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.

Extractor fans & ventilation in Norwich: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom extractor fan in Norwich?

A bathroom extractor fan in Norwich usually costs £265–£650 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover NR1 in Norwich?

Yes. We cover all of Norwich, including NR1, NR2, NR3, NR4 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby East Dereham, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Norwich?

Most of Norfolk has very 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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom extractor fan in Norwich?

Building control for Norwich is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What extraction rate does a bathroom fan need?

In England, Approved Document F asks for 15 litres per second from an intermittent bathroom fan, or 8 litres per second from a continuous one. Scotland's Technical Handbook also uses 15 l/s for a bathroom, Wales has similar rates in its own Part F, and Northern Ireland sets its rates in Technical Booklet K. Choose a fan that reaches the rate through your actual duct run, not just in open air. Our extractor fan rules guide explains more.
