Rules that apply in England

Questions from Exeter
What is the price of new extractor fans in Exeter?
Guide prices for Exeter use South West rates: like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £180 to £305 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Do you need building regulations for a new extractor fan?
Fitting or replacing an extractor fan has to meet the ventilation and electrical rules, and certain electrical work is notifiable. We do the work to the current standards. Electrical work that is notifiable is certified by a registered electrician, and you get a copy of the certificate and our airflow readings.
How long does fitting a fan take?
A straight replacement takes an hour or two. A new fan with a core-drilled hole or a duct through the loft usually takes half a day.
Is the survey free in Exeter?
For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.
