Working in Burnham-on-Sea
In Burnham-on-Sea we cover TA8; we also cover Weston-super-Mare, 7.5 miles away, and Bridgwater.
Burnham-on-Sea gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Burnham-on-Sea bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Burnham-on-Sea flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of Somerset 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
- 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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
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.
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.
