Working in Weston-super-Mare
We work right across Weston-super-Mare — BS22 and BS23 — and in neighbouring Burnham-on-Sea and Clevedon.
Across a large town like Weston-super-Mare, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For windowless bathrooms in Weston-super-Mare homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Weston-super-Mare bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of Somerset has hard water. 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
