Working in Stamford Hill
In Stamford Hill we cover E5, N15 and N16; we also cover Highbury, 1.7 miles away, and Tottenham.
In Stamford Hill, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. In Stamford Hill flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. If your Stamford Hill 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.
Most of Greater London has very 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
