Working in Warrington
In Warrington we cover WA1, WA2 and WA4; we also cover Newton-le-Willows, 4.1 miles away, and Golborne.
Across a large town like Warrington, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. In Warrington flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. If your Warrington 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
Noise
Compare the stated noise level in decibels. Inline fans and low-speed continuous fans are much quieter in the room than budget axial fans.
Axial, centrifugal or inline
Axial fans suit short, straight runs; centrifugal fans cope better with longer ducts; inline fans sit in the loft and are the quietest in the room.
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.
