Working in Hereford
In Hereford we cover HR1 and HR4; we also cover Ross on Wye, 11.6 miles away, and Leominster.
In a city the size of Hereford, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For windowless bathrooms in Hereford homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. We check the duct route at Hereford surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Supplies across most of Herefordshire are moderately hard. 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
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.
Noise
Compare the stated noise level in decibels. Inline fans and low-speed continuous fans are much quieter in the room than budget axial fans.
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.
