Working in Speke
We work right across Speke — L24, L25 and L26 — and in neighbouring Halewood and Hunts Cross.
Speke gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Speke flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. If your Speke 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.
Water across much of Merseyside is soft. 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
