What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in York?

Working in York
We work right across York — YO1, YO10, YO24 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Selby and Kippax.
In a city the size of York, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your York bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. We check the duct route at York surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Supplies across most of North Yorkshire are 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- 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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
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.
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.
