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.

English building work follows Approved Document F (2021 edition) for ventilation rates, installation and commissioning. It sets extract rates for kitchens, bathrooms and utilities and asks for mechanical ventilation to be commissioned and recorded.
Questions from Kirkby
Do you cover Kirkby and nearby?
Yes. We cover Kirkby and nearby places including Fazakerley, Croxteth, Norris Green and Maghull. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
What is the price of new extractor fans in Kirkby?
Guide prices for Kirkby 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.
