Working in Colne
As well as Colne itself (BB8 and BB9), we survey in Nelson, Burnley and Accrington.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Colne: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Colne 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. Fans fitted in Colne bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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.
