Working in Carlisle
In Carlisle we cover CA1, CA2 and CA3; we also cover Penrith, 17.4 miles away, and Workington.
In a city the size of Carlisle, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Carlisle bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Carlisle flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of Cumbria are 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
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.
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.
