Working in Canvey Island
As well as Canvey Island itself (SS7 and SS8), we survey in South Benfleet, Hadleigh and Pitsea.
In Canvey Island, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Canvey Island bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. We check the duct route at Canvey Island surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Water across much of Essex is very 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- 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.
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.
