What extractor fan installation involves
Many existing fans were never doing their job: undersized, ducted into the loft space, fitted with a flex duct crushed in the joists, or switched off by occupants because they were noisy. 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.
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.
New fan through an outside wall
Core drilled, sleeved, wired from a fused spur and sealed outside.

Questions about extractor fan installation in Lanarkshire
Are prices different in Lanarkshire?
Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Lanarkshire we use Scotland rates, so like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £170 to £285 inc VAT per fan.
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.
