What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Wallsend?
As a guide, budget £225 to £550 including VAT for a bathroom extractor fan in Wallsend; your written quote will pin it down. Labour costs in North East England put local prices at about 10% below the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Wallsend
In Wallsend we cover NE6, NE28 and NE31; we also cover Hebburn, 1.4 miles away, and Jarrow.
Homes in and around Wallsend vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Wallsend 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 Wallsend surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
Decisions to make first
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
