Working in Fareham
In Fareham we cover PO14, PO15 and PO16; we also cover Gosport, 4.5 miles away, and Portsmouth.
In Fareham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For windowless bathrooms in Fareham homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Fareham bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of Hampshire has hard water. 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
- 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- 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 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.
