Working in Alfreton
We cover every part of Alfreton, including DE55, and nearby Ripley (4.5 miles) and Sutton in Ashfield (5.4 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Alfreton: free survey, written quote, one team. For windowless bathrooms in Alfreton homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. Fans fitted in Alfreton bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. 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
- 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
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.
