Working in Didcot
As well as Didcot itself (OX11), we survey in Abingdon, Cowley and Oxford.
Homes in and around Didcot vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fans fitted in Didcot bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Didcot bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Supplies across most of Oxfordshire 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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
Decisions to make first
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
