What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Northampton?
In Northampton, a bathroom extractor fan typically costs £240–£600 including VAT, based on East Midlands prices. 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 Northampton
We cover every part of Northampton, including NN1, NN2, NN3 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Newport Pagnell (13.2 miles) and Milton Keynes (15.4 miles).
Northampton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Northampton bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. For windowless bathrooms in Northampton homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Supplies across most of Northamptonshire 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
