Any additional work or wiring alterations identified on site are priced separately before starting. - Extractor fan installation: from £180 - Covers replacing a standard wall or ceiling extractor fan on an existing functional circuit. - Includes testing the electrical connections and fitting an isolator switch where required. - Core drilling new external vents or running new dedicated supply circuits is quoted on inspection. ## The work that comes up most Bathrooms, shower rooms and kitchens need suitable ventilation to manage moisture, odours and condensation. - **Replacing noisy or seized bathroom fans:** An extractor that has become noisy, intermittent or seized can be replaced after checking the existing wiring, duct and opening. - **Upgrading internal bathroom ventilation:** Internal bathrooms and other rooms without opening windows may need mechanical extraction suited to the room and applicable ventilation requirements. - **Timer and humidistat fan upgrades:** Timer and humidity-sensing models can continue extracting after use or respond automatically when moisture rises. ## What is covered Every extractor fan installation handles the mechanical fitting and safe electrical supply. ### Included - Disconnection and removal of the existing extractor unit - Mounting and connecting the new fan unit securely - Wiring into existing fan isolator switches or lighting circuits - Testing circuit continuity and earth fault loop impedance - Checking run-on timer or humidistat sensor operation ### Not included - Diamond core drilling through structural brickwork or stone - Major ducting replacement across inaccessible ceiling voids - Plaster repairs and decorative painting - Installing a completely new supply cable from the consumer unit ## What happens on the day Jay arrives at your property to carry out the installation directly from quotation to completion. 1. **Isolating the circuit:** Jay locates your consumer unit and isolates the lighting or dedicated fan circuit safely before removing any covers or fittings. 2. **Fitting and electrical connection:** The fan unit is mounted, connected to the ducting, and wired through an isolator switch with the correct fusing. 3. **Operational testing:** The circuit is tested for electrical safety, and the fan overrun settings are adjusted to suit your room ventilation needs. ## What you end up with Your ventilation is left fully operational, safe and cleanly installed. - **Installed fan:** A cleanly mounted, fully operational extractor fan connected to your room ducting and power supply. - **Electrical checks:** Instrument testing confirming safe polarity, proper earthing, and correct isolation on the supply circuit. - **Handover:** A clear demonstration of how the fan operates, how the timer or humidity sensor responds, and how to isolate it for cleaning. ## Common questions Answers to common questions about extractor fan installation in Basingstoke homes. ### Can you fit a continuous running extractor fan? Yes. I regularly fit continuous trickle fans with boost functions for bathrooms and wet rooms. These maintain a low background airflow to keep moisture down and switch to higher speed when you turn on the light or when humidity rises. ### Do you supply the extractor fan or can I provide my own? I can supply a suitable quiet model or install a fan that you have purchased yourself. If you supply your own unit, I check that its duct diameter and electrical specifications suit the room before fitting. ### Is a triple pole isolator switch required for bathroom fans? Yes. Most mains voltage fans with overrun timers require a three pole isolator switch so the permanent live, switched live and neutral can be safely disconnected for maintenance without cutting power to the whole lighting circuit. ### How long does it take to replace an existing bathroom fan? Timing depends on access, ducting and the existing wiring. A like-for-like replacement on a suitable existing route is usually simpler than adding a new opening, duct or circuit. ## Business facts - Service area: Basingstoke, Kempshott, Hatch Warren, Brighton Hill, Chineham, Popley, Winklebury, Rooksdown, Old Basing and Lychpit, Oakley, Hook, Fleet, Tadley, Overton, Bramley, Whitchurch, Gosport - Hours: Sun, Fri, Sat 08:00–17:00; Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu 14:00–19:00 - Phone: +447307211625 - Email: team@jd-electricals.co.uk - Qualifications: Nvq level 3 electrical installation, City and guilds, 2009 ## Request a quote - [Start a request](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and postcode to JD Electricals. ## Related pages - [Fault finding](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding): Electrical fault finding and repair. - [EICR testing](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/services/eicr): EICR testing. - [Full sitemap](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
