How we approach extractor fans in Rochford
The rate a fan delivers through a real duct run is often far lower than the number on the box, which is why we size to the room and test the result. 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.
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.

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.
