What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Perth?
Guide price in Perth: £240–£600 including VAT, depending on the room and what you choose. Prices in Scotland 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 Perth
We work right across Perth — PH1 and PH2 — and in neighbouring Auchterarder and Blairgowrie and Rattray.
In a city the size of Perth, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For windowless bathrooms in Perth homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Perth 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 Perth and Kinross is soft. Even so, condensation is the bigger problem in any bathroom, and a properly sized extractor is what deals with it. 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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
Decisions to make first
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.
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 Scotland
In Scotland, the Technical Handbook also uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom. A replacement fan rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom may.
