The Service
What Is Extractor Fan Installation?
Extractor fan installation covers fitting bathroom, kitchen and utility fans — wall, ceiling or window-mounted — with the correct wiring, switching and IP rating for the room's moisture zone.
In bathrooms especially, the fan must be sited in the correct electrical zone, often with a humidistat or timer overrun, and isolated via a fused spur. The fan needs a permanent live for overrun models.

Why It Matters
Why Professional Electrical Work Matters
A correctly installed extractor fan protects a property from the condensation and mould that cause costly damage and affect air quality — especially in bathrooms and kitchens.
Bathroom fans are a special-location item: siting them in the wrong zone or without the right isolation can be a shock risk. The wiring regulations set clear zoning and protection rules.
Costs & Pricing
Costs & What Affects Pricing
Pricing for electrical work depends on the job. Here are the factors that typically affect the cost of this service.
- The fan type (basic, timer, humidistat, inline)
- Whether it's wall, ceiling or window mounted
- The cable run and switching method
- Whether a fused spur needs installing
- Whether an inline ducted fan needs a loft duct run
A straightforward like-for-like fan swap is quick; a new fan position with a fused spur costs more. Tell us what you have in mind.
