Working in Fleetwood
As well as Fleetwood itself (FY5 and FY7), we survey in Thornton-Cleveleys, Poulton-le-Fylde and Blackpool.
Homes in and around Fleetwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For windowless bathrooms in Fleetwood homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. We check the duct route at Fleetwood surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
