Working in Plymouth
In Plymouth we cover PL1, PL2, PL3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Paignton, 25.7 miles away, and Newton Abbot.
Plymouth 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 Plymouth bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Plymouth bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
Decisions to make first
Intermittent or continuous
An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.
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.
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.
