Working in Arnold
In Arnold we cover NG3, NG5 and NG6; we also cover Nottingham, 3.3 miles away, and Hucknall.
In Arnold, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For windowless bathrooms in Arnold homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. Fans fitted in Arnold bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Most of Nottinghamshire has hard water. 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
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.
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 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.
