Working in Rushden
In Rushden we cover NN10; we also cover Wellingborough, 4 miles away, and Kettering.
Homes in and around Rushden vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In Rushden flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. We check the duct route at Rushden surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Supplies across most of Northamptonshire are hard. Steam carries that scale onto mirrors and glass, so a fan that clears the room quickly helps on both counts. 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
- 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
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.
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.
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.
