What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Swansea?
In Swansea, a bathroom extractor fan typically costs £230–£550 including VAT, based on Wales prices. Prices in Wales run at about 7% 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 Swansea
We work right across Swansea — SA1, SA2 and SA5 — and in neighbouring Briton Ferry and Neath.
In a city the size of Swansea, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Fans fitted in Swansea bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Swansea bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of West Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
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.
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 Wales
Wales has its own Part F with similar extract rates, and its own Part P, under which new fan wiring in a bathroom is notifiable.
