Working in Accrington
We cover every part of Accrington, including BB5 and BB6, and nearby Haslingden (3.8 miles) and Rawtenstall (4.8 miles).
In Accrington, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Accrington bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. We check the duct route at Accrington surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. Even so, condensation is the bigger problem in any bathroom, and a properly sized extractor is what deals with it. 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- 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
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.
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.
