Working in Stretford
We cover every part of Stretford, including M17, M32 and M41, and nearby Old Trafford (1.3 miles) and Urmston (1.5 miles).
In Stretford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Fans fitted in Stretford bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. For windowless bathrooms in Stretford homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
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.
Wall or ceiling
A wall fan on an outside wall is the simplest. A ceiling fan over the shower takes steam away at source but needs ducting through the loft.
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.
