Working in Heston

We work right across Heston — TW4, TW5 and UB2 — and in neighbouring Hounslow and Isleworth.

In Heston, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Heston bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. If your Heston home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply.

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
  • A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
  • Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
  • Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used

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.

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.

Extractor fans & ventilation in Heston: questions

What is the price of a bathroom extractor fan in Heston?

A bathroom extractor fan in Heston usually costs £300–£750 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Heston?

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.

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

Building control for Heston 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 Heston.

Can an extractor fan go above a shower?

Yes, if it suits the zone. The space above a shower or bath, up to 2.25 m, is zone 1, which needs at least IPX4, or IPX5 where water jets are used. Many fans come in mains and low-voltage versions, and the maker's instructions say which zones each can go in. The isolator stays outside the room.
