What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Gosforth?

Working in Gosforth
As well as Gosforth itself (NE2, NE3 and NE7), we survey in Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Wallsend.
Gosforth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the duct route at Gosforth surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. Fans fitted in Gosforth bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear are 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
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.
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.
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.
