What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Worthing?
As a guide, budget £280 to £650 including VAT for a bathroom extractor fan in Worthing; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in South East England run at about 12% above 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 Worthing
As well as Worthing itself (BN11, BN12, BN13 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea and Portslade.
Worthing has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Worthing 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. In Worthing flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of West Sussex are hard. Steam carries that scale onto mirrors and glass, so a fan that clears the room quickly helps on both counts. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- 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
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.
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.
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.
