Working in Pitsea
We work right across Pitsea — SS13, SS14 and SS16 — and in neighbouring Basildon and South Benfleet.
Homes in and around Pitsea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fans fitted in Pitsea bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Pitsea flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
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.
Timer or humidistat
A timer keeps the fan running after the light goes off. A humidistat starts it whenever moisture rises, which suits rooms where people forget.
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.
