Working in Radcliffe
We cover every part of Radcliffe, including BL9, M26 and M45, and nearby Whitefield (1.3 miles) and Prestwich (2.6 miles).
In Radcliffe, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Fans fitted in Radcliffe bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Radcliffe flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- 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
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.
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.
