Working in Cricklewood

In Cricklewood we cover NW2, NW6 and NW11; we also cover Kilburn, 1.1 miles away, and Willesden.

London homes in Cricklewood often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Cricklewood bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. For windowless bathrooms in Cricklewood homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.

Supplies across most of Greater London are 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

  • 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
  • Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
  • A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous

Decisions to make first

Axial, centrifugal or inline

Axial fans suit short, straight runs; centrifugal fans cope better with longer ducts; inline fans sit in the loft and are the quietest in the room.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Cricklewood?

Who handles building control for a bathroom extractor fan in Cricklewood?

Building control for Cricklewood is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a bathroom extractor fan take?

Allow half a day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Cricklewood.

Why is my bathroom still getting mould when it has a fan?

Usually because the fan is not moving enough air. Common causes are a long or kinked duct, a blocked grille or stuck backdraught shutter, no gap under the door for replacement air, or a fan that stops as soon as the light goes off. Cold surfaces, such as a poorly insulated ceiling, make condensation worse.
