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.
Inline fans
A quiet fan in the loft serving one or two ceiling grilles in a shower room or en-suite.
Kitchen extract and cooker hoods
A wall or window fan, or a cooker hood ducted outside rather than recirculating.

Questions from Brighton
Do you cover Brighton and nearby?
Yes. We cover Brighton and nearby places including Hove, Portslade, Rottingdean and Shoreham-by-Sea. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
Should I get a fan with a humidity sensor?
A humidistat fan switches on when the air gets damp and runs until it clears, which suits family bathrooms and rentals where people forget the switch. A continuous-running fan is another good option.
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.
What is the price of new extractor fans in Brighton?
Guide prices for Brighton use South East rates: like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £195 to £325 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Is the survey free in Brighton?
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.
Send a photo of the existing fan and the outside wall and we will price your Brighton job quickly.
