Working in Salford
As well as Salford itself (M3, M5, M6 and 4 more postcode districts), we survey in Eccles, Old Trafford and Manchester.
In a city the size of Salford, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We check the duct route at Salford surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. In Salford flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. 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 backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- 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.
Axial, centrifugal or inline
Axial fans suit short, straight runs; centrifugal fans cope better with longer ducts; inline fans sit in the loft and are the quietest in the room.
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.
