How we approach extractor fans in Castleford
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.
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 from Castleford
Do you cover Castleford and nearby?
Yes. We cover Castleford and nearby places including Kippax, Pontefract, Featherstone and Knottingley. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
What is the price of new extractor fans in Castleford?
Guide prices for Castleford use Yorkshire rates: like-for-like extractor fan replacement (existing duct and wiring) is typically £165 to £275 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Is the survey free in Castleford?
