How we approach extractor fans in Wells
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.

- The fan is noisy, rattling or has stopped
- The duct ends in the loft rather than outside
Rules that apply in England
In England, ventilation is covered by Part F of the Building Regulations and its guidance, Approved Document F (2021 edition). For homes, it sets minimum extract rates such as 15 litres a second for a bathroom and 30 or 60 for a kitchen, and expects mechanical systems to be airflow-tested.
Questions from Wells
How do I get a price for new extractor fans in Wells?
Use the guide price tool, the form on this page, live chat, WhatsApp or call 0800 088 6341. A postcode and a couple of photos help us give you a useful answer first time.
What size extractor fan does a bathroom need?
In England a bathroom fan should extract at least 15 litres a second, measured at the fan, under Approved Document F. Long or bendy duct runs reduce flow, so the fan often needs to be rated higher than the minimum.
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.
