Working in Hailsham
In Hailsham we cover BN27; we also cover Eastbourne, 6.6 miles away, and Seaford.
Hailsham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Fans fitted in Hailsham bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Hailsham flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of East Sussex are hard. 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
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.
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.
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.
