Working in Colwyn Bay
As well as Colwyn Bay itself (LL28, LL29 and LL31), we survey in Llandudno, Rhyl and Prestatyn.
Homes in and around Colwyn Bay vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Colwyn Bay 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. If your Colwyn Bay bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Water across much of Clwyd is moderately hard. 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
Decisions to make first
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.
Timer or humidistat
A timer keeps the fan running after the light goes off. A humidistat starts it whenever moisture rises, which suits rooms where people forget.
Rules that apply in Wales
Wales has its own Part F with similar extract rates, and its own Part P, under which new fan wiring in a bathroom is notifiable.
