Working in Huyton
We cover every part of Huyton, including L14, L27 and L36, and nearby Prescot (2 miles) and Halewood (3.6 miles).
Homes in and around Huyton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For windowless bathrooms in Huyton homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. Fans fitted in Huyton 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- 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
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.
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
