How we do it

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.

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 West Yorkshire

Which towns in West Yorkshire do you cover?

All of West Yorkshire, including Wakefield, Halifax, Dewsbury, Morley and Keighley. If your town is not listed, send the 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.

Are prices different in West Yorkshire?

Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In West Yorkshire we use Yorkshire rates, so like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £165 to £275 inc VAT per fan.

Is the survey free in West Yorkshire?

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.
