Working in Bodmin
We cover every part of Bodmin, including PL31, and nearby St Austell (9.2 miles) and Newquay (15.8 miles).
Bodmin gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For windowless bathrooms in Bodmin homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Bodmin bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Water across much of Cornwall is soft. Even so, condensation is the bigger problem in any bathroom, and a properly sized extractor is what deals with it. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- 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
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.
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.
