What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Sunderland?
In Sunderland, a bathroom extractor fan typically costs £225–£550 including VAT, based on North East England prices. Prices in North East England run at about 10% 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 Sunderland
We cover every part of Sunderland, including SR1, SR2, SR6 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Seaham (4.8 miles) and Washington (5.4 miles).
Sunderland 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 Sunderland 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. For windowless bathrooms in Sunderland homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
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
- 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
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.
