Working in Eastwood
In Eastwood we cover DE7, DE75 and NG16; we also cover Ilkeston, 2.1 miles away, and Heanor.
Eastwood gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Eastwood flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. Fans fitted in Eastwood bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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.
Wall or ceiling
A wall fan on an outside wall is the simplest. A ceiling fan over the shower takes steam away at source but needs ducting through the loft.
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.
