Working in Tonypandy
In Tonypandy we cover CF40; we also cover Rhondda, 2.6 miles away, and Pontypridd.
Homes in and around Tonypandy vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In Tonypandy flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. Fans fitted in Tonypandy bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
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
- 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
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.
Timer or humidistat
A timer keeps the fan running after the light goes off. A humidistat starts it whenever moisture rises, which suits rooms where people forget.
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.
