What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Brighouse?
As a guide, budget £230 to £550 including VAT for a bathroom extractor fan in Brighouse; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in Yorkshire and the Humber 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 Brighouse
As well as Brighouse itself (HD2, HD6 and HX5), we survey in Elland, Halifax and Cleckheaton.
Homes in and around Brighouse vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Brighouse 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 Brighouse flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Water across much of West Yorkshire 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
- 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
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.
