How much does it cost to install a new bathroom exhaust fan in a 1990s semi-detached house in Breda in 2026?

by AstraNL Community▲ 01 views

We're planning a small bathroom refresh and the current exhaust fan is noisy and doesn't remove moisture properly. The bathroom is about 5 m². We're not sure if we need permits or whether to hire someone or try DIY. What's a realistic budget for 2026?

A bathroom exhaust fan installation in a standard 5 m² space typically costs €250–€450 in 2026, including labour and a mid-range fan unit (€80–€150). Costs vary by: fan quality and ducting complexity (internal vs. external wall routing), whether existing wiring is accessible, and local labour rates (Breda averages €45–€60/hour). No gemeente permit is required for standard replacement. However, if you're running new ducts through structural elements or upgrading from no ventilation, a quick check with your electrician (NEN 1010 compliance for electrical safety) is wise. DIY is possible if you're handy with basic tools, but professional installation ensures proper sealing and airflow.
