Bathroom ventilation, made easier to specify
Bathroom extractor fans are easiest to compare when you start with the installation position, available opening and the way the room is used. This guide helps you separate wall, ceiling, compact and larger-diameter options before you buy.

Start with the job
A replacement is usually simpler when the new fan suits the existing position. Check whether the fan will sit on a wall, in a ceiling or in a window, then confirm the opening and electrical requirements with a qualified installer.
Choose a wall extractor when the existing opening and duct route are on an external wall. The White Wall Extractor Fan

View the ceiling extractor fanFor a smaller bathroom opening, compare the compact model and the 4-inch or 6-inch options in the live collection. Match the stated size to the opening rather than relying on appearance alone.

These products are active in the Extractor Fans & Bathroom Ventilation collection and have an available-for-sale variant at the time of review. Product size and feature wording below follows the live listing; installation suitability still depends on the site.
Wall position · IPX4 · 158mm reference
This is the clearest starting point when you are replacing a wall-mounted bathroom fan and want the product format to match the existing position. Check the opening and external wall route before ordering.
Check the wall model
Ceiling position · IPX4 · quiet operation in title
The ceiling format is suited to bathrooms where the fan position and ventilation route are above the room. The live listing calls out quiet operation, while the installer should confirm the opening and route on site.
Check the ceiling model
Compact format · white · corrosion-resistant in title
This compact white option is worth comparing when the bathroom has limited wall or ceiling space. Measure the existing opening and keep the product's listed format in front of the installer before selecting a replacement.

150mm format · bathroom extractor fan
This 150mm option gives you a clear size-led comparison point for a bathroom replacement. Measure the opening first and use the product page to confirm the listing details before asking an electrician to fit it.

Before you order
| Check | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Position | Wall, ceiling or window installation | The product format must suit the existing opening and route. |
| Opening | Measure the existing cut-out or mounting area | A similar-looking fan may not fit the available space. |
| Electrical work | Isolation, wiring and local installation requirements | Have a qualified electrician handle the connection and replacement. |
| Moisture exposure | Use only the protection rating stated on the product listing | Do not assume an indoor fan is suitable for every wet-zone position. |
| Route | Confirm where extracted air will discharge | The fan choice cannot be separated from the building's ventilation route. |
Need a second opinion?

Common questions

Bathroom fan replacement can involve electrical isolation and wiring. Use a qualified electrician for the connection and ask them to confirm the mounting and discharge route.
