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.
New fan through an outside wall
Core drilled, sleeved, wired from a fused spur and sealed outside.
Ducted to outside through the loft
Insulated duct to a roof, ridge or soffit outlet so warm moist air does not condense in the loft.

Questions from Ince-in-Makerfield
What is the price of new extractor fans in Ince-in-Makerfield?
Guide prices for Ince-in-Makerfield use North West rates: like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £165 to £280 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Can an extractor fan vent into the loft?
No. A fan should discharge to outside, because warm, moist air dumped in the loft condenses on the cold roof timbers and causes mould and rot there instead.
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.
Is the survey free in Ince-in-Makerfield?
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.
