Working in Brixham
In Brixham we cover TQ4 and TQ5; we also cover Paignton, 3.7 miles away, and Torquay.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Brixham: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the duct route at Brixham surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. In Brixham flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. 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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
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.
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.
