Working in Exeter
In Exeter we cover EX1, EX2, EX3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Exmouth, 9.2 miles away, and Tiverton.
Exeter is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Fans fitted in Exeter bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Exeter bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Water across much of Devon is soft. 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
