Working in Eastleigh
In Eastleigh we cover SO50 and SO53; we also cover Hedge End, 4.3 miles away, and Southampton.
Homes in and around Eastleigh vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the duct route at Eastleigh surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. For windowless bathrooms in Eastleigh homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Supplies across most of Hampshire are hard. Steam carries that scale onto mirrors and glass, so a fan that clears the room quickly helps on both counts. 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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.
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.
