Working in Cheltenham
As well as Cheltenham itself (GL50, GL51 and GL53), we survey in Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Stroud.
Cheltenham has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Fans fitted in Cheltenham bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Cheltenham bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of Gloucestershire has 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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
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.
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.
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.
