Working in Bramhall

In Bramhall we cover SK3, SK7 and SK8; we also cover Cheadle Hulme, 1.6 miles away, and Hazel Grove.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bramhall: free survey, written quote, one team. Fans fitted in Bramhall bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. We check the duct route at Bramhall surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is 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

  • Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
  • A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
  • 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

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.

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.

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

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 Bramhall.

What extraction rate does a bathroom fan need?

In England, Approved Document F asks for 15 litres per second from an intermittent bathroom fan, or 8 litres per second from a continuous one. Scotland's Technical Handbook also uses 15 l/s for a bathroom, Wales has similar rates in its own Part F, and Northern Ireland sets its rates in Technical Booklet K. Choose a fan that reaches the rate through your actual duct run, not just in open air. Our extractor fan rules guide explains more.
