Working in Ashton-under-Lyne
We work right across Ashton-under-Lyne — M34, M43, OL6 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Dukinfield and Stalybridge.
In Ashton-under-Lyne, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Fans fitted in Ashton-under-Lyne bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Manchester are soft. Even so, condensation is the bigger problem in any bathroom, and a properly sized extractor is what deals with it. 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 backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- 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
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.
Timer or humidistat
A timer keeps the fan running after the light goes off. A humidistat starts it whenever moisture rises, which suits rooms where people forget.
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.
