Working in Mountsorrel
In Mountsorrel we cover LE4; we also cover Loughborough, 4 miles away, and Leicester.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Mountsorrel: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the duct route at Mountsorrel surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Mountsorrel bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Water across much of Leicestershire is hard. 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
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.
