Working in Burnley
We work right across Burnley — BB10 and BB11 — and in neighbouring Nelson and Colne.
Across a large town like Burnley, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Burnley home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply. If your Burnley bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- 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.
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.
