Extractor fan installation in Colchester
Lighting Electrical installs extractor fans for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Colchester and the surrounding Essex towns. We fit the fan, connect the supply and leave the room extracting steam and moisture.
“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

Who needs an extractor fan installed
- A kitchen, bathroom or utility room that traps steam needs a working extractor fan fitted.
- Steam sits on tiles and mirrors after a shower because the old fan is weak or dead.
- Cooking steam has nowhere to go when there is no fan or the existing one barely pulls.
- A rental bathroom or kitchen needs working extraction before tenants move in or an inspection is due.
What is covered
A standard extractor fan installation covers the fitting, the electrical connection and a test that the fan extracts.
Included
- Fitting a standard extractor fan in a kitchen, bathroom or utility room
- Connecting the fan to the lighting circuit or a fused spur, a switched supply with its own fuse
- Testing that the fan runs and pulls air once it is connected
- Electrical paperwork for the completed fitting
- A written price before the fitting starts
Not included
- Tiling, plastering or decorating around the fan
- Builder work for a new roof duct or a long cavity opening
- A consumer unit replacement if the circuit cannot take the fan
What happens on the day
We isolate the circuit, fit the extractor fan, then test it and leave the paperwork.
- 01
Arrival and isolation
We confirm the room, isolate the circuit and check the wiring before any fan comes out.
- 02
Fitting the fan
We mount the extractor fan, connect live, neutral and earth, and set the duct so air leaves the room.
- 03
Test and paperwork
We turn the fan on, confirm it extracts, then leave the electrical paperwork for the fitting.
Extractor fan installation prices
Extractor fan installation starts from £180. The starting price is for a standard fitting where the cable run and the duct path are already in place.
- The £180 figure is a starting price, not a fixed charge.
- Extra cable, new ducting, a timer switch or harder access adds to the written price.
- A minor works certificate starts from £95 when the fitting needs that document.
What you get with a new extractor fan
You are left with a working extractor fan, clearer air in the room and the paperwork for the fitting.
- Working extraction in the room
- Steam and cooking moisture leave through the fan instead of sitting on tiles, paint and glass.
- A finished fitting
- The fan is mounted, the connections are covered and the switch starts the fan.
- Paperwork you can keep
- The electrical record for the fitting stays with you for the property, a tenancy or a sale.

Extractor fan installation questions
Customers ask about the price, the power cut, the certificate and whether Lighting Electrical fits fans in business premises.
How much does extractor fan installation cost?+
Extractor fan installation starts from £180. That starting price is for a standard fitting where the cable and duct path are already in place. Extra cable, new ducting or a timer switch is priced in writing before work starts.
— Valandi Kotorri
Will the electricity go off while you fit the fan?+
Only the circuit for the extractor fan is isolated during the fitting. Lights and sockets on other circuits stay on. Power on that circuit returns once the fan has been tested.
— Valandi Kotorri
Do I get a certificate for an extractor fan?+
You get the electrical paperwork the fitting needs when the work is complete. A minor works certificate starts from £95 when that is the document the job requires. The record stays with you for the property.
Do you fit extractor fans in commercial premises?+
Yes, Lighting Electrical fits extractor fans for homeowners, landlords and businesses. Work covers Colchester, Witham, Maldon and the other Essex towns the company serves. The fitting is planned around the room you need extracting.
Can you replace a noisy or dead extractor fan?+
Lighting Electrical replaces a noisy or dead extractor fan on the same circuit where that circuit is sound. The old fan comes out, the new one goes in, then we test extraction before leaving. Wiring or duct work beyond a straightforward swap is priced in writing before we start.
