Working in Fleet

As well as Fleet itself (GU13, GU51 and GU52), we survey in Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley.

In Fleet, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Fleet bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Fleet flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.

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
  • A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
  • Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
  • 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.

Intermittent or continuous

An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.

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.

What is the price of a bathroom extractor fan in Fleet?

Is the water hard in Fleet?

Who handles building control for a bathroom extractor fan in Fleet?

Building control for Fleet is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a bathroom extractor fan take?

Allow half a day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Fleet.

What is continuous extract ventilation?

Continuous extract is a low-energy fan that runs all the time at a low rate, at least 8 l/s for a bathroom in England, and boosts automatically when humidity rises. It suits windowless rooms and homes with persistent condensation, and because it runs slowly most of the time, it is usually very quiet.
