What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Harrogate?

Working in Harrogate
We work right across Harrogate — HG1 and HG2 — and in neighbouring Ripon and Yeadon.
Across a large town like Harrogate, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Fans fitted in Harrogate bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Harrogate 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.
Water across much of North Yorkshire is moderately hard. Scale is a minor issue next to condensation, which is what a properly sized extractor fan is for. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- 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.
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.
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.
