Working in Risca
We work right across Risca — NP10 and NP11 — and in neighbouring Newport and Cwmbran.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Risca: free survey, written quote, one team. In Risca flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. Fans fitted in Risca bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
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
- 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
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.
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 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.
