Working in Saffron Walden
We cover every part of Saffron Walden, including CB10, and nearby Haverhill (9.3 miles) and Bishops Stortford (11.1 miles).
Saffron Walden gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Saffron Walden flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. Fans fitted in Saffron Walden bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
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.
