Working in High Wycombe
As well as High Wycombe itself (HP11, HP12 and HP13), we survey in Marlow, Amersham and Amersham on the Hill.
Across a large town like High Wycombe, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. In High Wycombe flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. If your High Wycombe home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply.
Supplies across most of Buckinghamshire are hard. Steam carries that scale onto mirrors and glass, so a fan that clears the room quickly helps on both counts. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
Intermittent or continuous
An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.
Wall or ceiling
A wall fan on an outside wall is the simplest. A ceiling fan over the shower takes steam away at source but needs ducting through the loft.
Rules that apply in England
In England, Approved Document F sets bathroom extract at 15 l/s for an intermittent fan or 8 l/s for continuous extract. Wiring a new fan alters a circuit in a room with a bath or shower, so it is notifiable under Part P.
