Working in Harwich
In Harwich we cover CO12; we also cover Felixstowe, 3.2 miles away, and Walton-on-the-Naze.
Harwich gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Harwich bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. Fans fitted in Harwich bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Most of Essex has very 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
