Pricing guide

Price varies mainly with the chosen venting method and how much new ducting or roof/wall penetration is needed. New duct runs and roof work typically require flashing, extra materials and labour, while recirculating units usually reduce materials and install time. Callout fees and hourly labour rates are applied separately and after-hours attendance typically attracts a higher rate.

  • Venting method (ducted vs recirculating)

    Ducted installs usually need external termination and duct runs, whereas recirculating units avoid external penetrations and often require fewer materials.

  • Need for new ducting or penetration

    New roof or wall penetrations involve flashing and additional roof/eave labour and can increase the job scope beyond a simple swap.

  • Condition of existing cutout and wiring

    Like-for-like replacements assume existing cutouts and wiring are usable; damaged or non-compliant wiring usually requires extra work.

  • Roof type and site access

    Tile roofs, difficult roofing or limited access typically make installation more complex and may require specialist access methods.

  • Timing and callout/hourly rates

    A callout fee and hourly labour rates are generally applied and attending outside standard hours usually attracts a higher charge.

Frequently asked questions

Do installers need to be licenced?
Licensing for this trade is mandatory, so you should engage a licenced ventilation specialist. Check that the installer holds the appropriate licence before hiring.
Can I use a recirculating fan instead?
Recirculating units typically avoid roof or wall penetrations and often take less time and materials to install. If you later convert to a ducted system, the job is usually re-priced under a new-ducting scenario.
Will the job require roof repairs?
If a new penetration is needed, the work typically includes flashing and some roof or eave labour, and tile or difficult roofing can increase the scope. Major roof rebuilds or specialist scaffold work are usually treated as bespoke and not included in standard profiles.
What should I tell installers for an accurate quote?
Mention whether you want recirculating or ducted venting, the condition of the existing cutout and wiring, roof type and access, and whether you’ll supply the fan. Note that asbestos remediation and major structural or roof rebuilds are not included in standard profiles and would be treated separately.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to ventilation specialists — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
