Working in Long Eaton
In Long Eaton we cover DE72, NG9 and NG10; we also cover Ilkeston, 5.2 miles away, and Nottingham.
Homes in and around Long Eaton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the duct route at Long Eaton surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. In Long Eaton 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
