Working in Cheshunt
We work right across Cheshunt — EN7, EN8 and EN9 — and in neighbouring Waltham Abbey and Enfield.
In Cheshunt, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For windowless bathrooms in Cheshunt homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. We check the duct route at Cheshunt surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
