Working in Newtown
We cover every part of Newtown, including SY16, and nearby Welshpool (11.8 miles) and Brecon (39.6 miles).
Newtown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the duct route at Newtown surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. Fans fitted in Newtown bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Water across much of Powys is 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- 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
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.
Intermittent or continuous
An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.
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.
