Working in Hoddesdon
We work right across Hoddesdon — EN11 — and in neighbouring Ware and Hertford.
Homes in and around Hoddesdon vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In Hoddesdon flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. Fans fitted in Hoddesdon bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Most of Hertfordshire has very 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
- 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.
Axial, centrifugal or inline
Axial fans suit short, straight runs; centrifugal fans cope better with longer ducts; inline fans sit in the loft and are the quietest in the room.
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.
