What the work involves
For England, Approved Document F gives minimum intermittent extract rates: 15 litres a second for a bathroom, 30 for a kitchen with a cooker hood (60 without one), 30 for a utility room and 6 for a WC. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules, which we follow where the job is.
Kitchen extract and cooker hoods
A wall or window fan, or a cooker hood ducted outside rather than recirculating.
Like-for-like replacement
A new fan on the existing duct and wiring, often with an overrun timer or humidity sensor.

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.

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.
