Working in Frome
In Frome we cover BA11; we also cover Westbury, 6.2 miles away, and Warminster.
Homes in and around Frome vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Frome bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. If your Frome 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.
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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
