Working in Wilmslow
We work right across Wilmslow — M90, SK8 and SK9 — and in neighbouring Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme.
In Wilmslow, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Wilmslow bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Wilmslow flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- 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
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.
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.
