Working in Carmarthen
In Carmarthen we cover SA31; we also cover Llanelli, 13.5 miles away, and Ammanford.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Carmarthen: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the duct route at Carmarthen surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Carmarthen bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Supplies across most of Dyfed are 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
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.
Axial, centrifugal or inline
Axial fans suit short, straight runs; centrifugal fans cope better with longer ducts; inline fans sit in the loft and are the quietest in the room.
Rules that apply in Wales
Wales has its own Part F with similar extract rates, and its own Part P, under which new fan wiring in a bathroom is notifiable.
