Working in Hastings
We work right across Hastings — TN34, TN35, TN37 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Bexhill-on-Sea and Hailsham.
Hastings has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Hastings bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. For windowless bathrooms in Hastings homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Water across much of East Sussex is 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
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.
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 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.
