Working in Rochdale
We work right across Rochdale — OL11, OL12, OL15 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Heywood and Royton.
Across a large town like Rochdale, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We check the duct route at Rochdale surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Rochdale 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.
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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
