Working in Whitstable
We cover every part of Whitstable, including CT5, and nearby Herne Bay (4.5 miles) and Canterbury (6.1 miles).
Homes in and around Whitstable vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the duct route at Whitstable surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Whitstable bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Supplies across most of Kent 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
