Extractor fan installation in Leicestershire
Bathroom, kitchen and utility fans sized to the Part F rates, ducted outside and tested, across Leicestershire.
- From £170 inc VAT per fan
- Free survey
If the bathroom mirror in your Leicestershire home stays steamed up, the fan probably is not moving enough air.
Across Leicestershire the job is priced the same way wherever you are: what is fitted, how long it takes and how far we travel. Towns we cover include Hinckley, Coalville, Wigston Magna, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough.

What the work involves
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. 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.
Like-for-like replacement
A new fan on the existing duct and wiring, often with an overrun timer or humidity sensor.

Rules in England
In England, ventilation is covered by Part F of the Building Regulations and its guidance, Approved Document F (2021 edition). It sets extract rates for kitchens, bathrooms and utilities and asks for mechanical ventilation to be commissioned and recorded.

Questions about extractor fan installation in Leicestershire
Which towns in Leicestershire do you cover?
All of Leicestershire, including Hinckley, Coalville, Wigston Magna, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough. If your town is not listed, send the postcode and we will confirm.
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.
How long does fitting a fan take?
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.
Are prices different in Leicestershire?
Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Leicestershire we use East Midlands rates, so like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £170 to £290 inc VAT per fan.
Is the survey free in Leicestershire?
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.
