Fitting new electric fan in kitchen

Acc72

Hello All,


I am looking to have an electric fan fitted in my kitchen (either connected directly to the light switch or on its own switch).


Before I ask for quotes, could anybody give me an idea of the kind of costs I would be looking at ? (includes supply, drilling hole in exterior wall, connecting to electric etc.).


Also, would this have to be fitted by a qualified electrician and be provided with a certificate or anything ?


Many thanks for any help or pointers.

The work is not notifiable to building control under part P so you will not need a building control certificate but it should be fitted by a competent person who will wire it up correctly to comply with the latest electrical regs who should issue with an electrical installation/minor works certificate. So in other words yes, get a professional electrician but they don't need to be part of a Part P notification scheme for this work.

I think £150-200 including supply of a decent fan would be a reasonable price but there are some variable factors such as how much disruption there is to find a suitable point to wire up the extractor to the lighting circuit if that's what you'd prefer, and how much making good is required.

Get quotes then ask anything else is going to be a waste of time and estimated price without full details isn't going to help you one bit ? e,g fan ground floor installation not comparable to fifth floor etc
