Working in Cwmbran
As well as Cwmbran itself (NP44), we survey in Pontypool, Risca and Newport.
Homes in and around Cwmbran vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For windowless bathrooms in Cwmbran homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. We check the duct route at Cwmbran surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. Scale is a minor issue next to condensation, which is what a properly sized extractor fan is for. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
Decisions to make first
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.
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 Wales
Wales has its own Part F with similar extract rates, and its own Part P, under which new fan wiring in a bathroom is notifiable.
