Working in Tyldesley
As well as Tyldesley itself (M29, M38 and M46), we survey in Atherton, Leigh and Walkden.
In Tyldesley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Tyldesley bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Tyldesley 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 check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- 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
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.
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.
