Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Garston: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the duct route at Garston surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. Fans fitted in Garston bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Most of Merseyside 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- 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
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.
