Working in Farnborough
We work right across Farnborough — GU14 — and in neighbouring Camberley and Aldershot.
In Farnborough, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Farnborough flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. Fans fitted in Farnborough bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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.
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.
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.
