Working in Litherland
In Litherland we cover L20, L21 and L22; we also cover Bootle, 0.8 miles away, and Maghull.
Litherland gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Litherland bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. If your Litherland 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 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
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.
