Working in Swadlincote
We cover every part of Swadlincote, including DE11, and nearby Burton upon Trent (4.2 miles) and Coalville (8.6 miles).
Homes in and around Swadlincote vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Swadlincote bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. We check the duct route at Swadlincote surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
