Working in Wellington
In Wellington we cover TF1 and TF5; we also cover Telford, 3.3 miles away, and Shrewsbury.
Wellington gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Wellington home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply. If your Wellington bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of Shropshire has moderately hard water. Scale is a minor issue next to condensation, which is what a properly sized extractor fan is for. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- 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
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.
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.
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.
