Working in Urmston
We cover every part of Urmston, including M17, M32 and M41, and nearby Stretford (1.5 miles) and Sale (2 miles).
In Urmston, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Urmston flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. For windowless bathrooms in Urmston 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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.
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.
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.
