Working in Ormskirk
As well as Ormskirk itself (L39 and WN8), we survey in Maghull, Skelmersdale and Kirkby.
Ormskirk gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Ormskirk bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. Fans fitted in Ormskirk 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
