Working in Wimborne Minster
As well as Wimborne Minster itself (BH17, BH18 and BH21), we survey in Ferndown, Poole and Bournemouth.
Wimborne Minster gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For windowless bathrooms in Wimborne Minster homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. In Wimborne Minster flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- 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
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.
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.
