What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Shipley?

Working in Shipley
We cover every part of Shipley, including BD10, BD17 and BD18, and nearby Baildon (1.3 miles) and Bradford (2.8 miles).
In Shipley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Shipley flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. We check the duct route at Shipley surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Most of West Yorkshire 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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
Decisions to make first
Intermittent or continuous
An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.
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.
