Service overview
Extractor Fan Installation: what it is and when you need it
What the service covers
Installing new extractor fans in bathrooms, en-suites, kitchens and utility rooms, replacing noisy or failed fans, and adding controls such as timers and humidity sensors.
Who it is for
Homeowners refitting a bathroom or kitchen, anyone dealing with condensation or mould, and landlords improving ventilation in rented homes.
When to consider it
When mirrors and windows stay steamed up, when mould appears on ceilings or grout, when an old fan is loud or has stopped working, or during a bathroom refit.
Why use a registered electrician
Bathrooms are special locations under the wiring regulations. Fans must suit the zone they're in, be wired with the right isolation and protection, and the work should be tested and certified.
What happens if it's ignored
The risks of putting it off
Poor ventilation and poor wiring both cause problems in wet rooms.
Damp and mould
Moisture left in the room damages paint, plaster and grout.
Shock risk
Fans in the wrong zone or without proper protection are dangerous.
Fan failure
Badly fitted fans burn out early or rattle.
Wasted money
An undersized fan simply doesn't clear the steam.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Fitting a fan that isn't rated for its bathroom zone.
- Choosing a fan too small for the room.
- No overrun timer, so the fan stops before the steam has cleared.
- Ignoring a fan that has gone noisy or stopped.

In detail
Extractor fans explained
Bathroom fans
Bathrooms produce a lot of moisture in a short time. A correctly sized fan with an overrun timer keeps running after the light goes off, clearing steam before it settles on walls and ceilings.
Kitchen and utility fans
Kitchens and utility rooms generate steam and cooking smells. A wall or window fan, or a fan linked to a cooker hood, helps keep the room fresh and dry.
Timers and humidity sensors
Timer fans run on for a set period; humidity-sensing fans switch on automatically when moisture rises. Both help ventilation happen without anyone needing to remember.
Replacing an old fan
Old fans often get noisy or stop working altogether. Replacing them is usually quick, and the existing wiring is checked at the same time.
Fans during a refit
A bathroom or kitchen refit is the ideal time to fit a fan, alongside new downlights, so cables and ducting can be hidden.
