Working in Penrith
We cover every part of Penrith, including CA11, and nearby Carlisle (17.4 miles) and Kendal (23.4 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Penrith: free survey, written quote, one team. In Penrith flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. Fans fitted in Penrith bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
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
- 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
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.
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.
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.
