Working in Earl Shilton
In Earl Shilton we cover LE9 and LE10; we also cover Hinckley, 3.7 miles away, and Nuneaton.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Earl Shilton: free survey, written quote, one team. For windowless bathrooms in Earl Shilton homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Earl Shilton 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.
Most of Leicestershire has hard water. Steam carries that scale onto mirrors and glass, so a fan that clears the room quickly helps on both counts. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- 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
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.
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.
