Working in Glossop
In Glossop we cover SK13; we also cover Stalybridge, 5.3 miles away, and Hyde.
Glossop gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For windowless bathrooms in Glossop homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. In Glossop flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of Derbyshire are moderately hard. 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
- 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
Decisions to make first
Timer or humidistat
A timer keeps the fan running after the light goes off. A humidistat starts it whenever moisture rises, which suits rooms where people forget.
Noise
Compare the stated noise level in decibels. Inline fans and low-speed continuous fans are much quieter in the room than budget axial fans.
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.
