Working in Ferndown
We cover every part of Ferndown, including BH22, and nearby Wimborne Minster (4 miles) and Bournemouth (6.1 miles).
Ferndown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Fans fitted in Ferndown bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Ferndown home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply.
Most of Dorset has hard water. Steam carries that scale onto mirrors and glass, so a fan that clears the room quickly helps on both counts. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- 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
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.
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
