Working in Whitehaven
We cover every part of Whitehaven, including CA28, and nearby Workington (6.7 miles) and Barrow in Furness (33.5 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Whitehaven: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the duct route at Whitehaven surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. For windowless bathrooms in Whitehaven homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- 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.
