Working in Congleton
We cover every part of Congleton, including CW12, and nearby Biddulph (3.5 miles) and Kidsgrove (5.4 miles).
Homes in and around Congleton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For windowless bathrooms in Congleton homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Congleton bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. Scale is a minor issue next to condensation, which is what a properly sized extractor fan is for. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
Decisions to make first
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
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.
