Working in Bridgend
We work right across Bridgend — CF31 and CF35 — and in neighbouring Porthcawl and Llantwit Major.
In Bridgend, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check the duct route at Bridgend surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Bridgend bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- 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
- 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.
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 Wales
Wales has its own Part F with similar extract rates, and its own Part P, under which new fan wiring in a bathroom is notifiable.
