Working in Barnsley
As well as Barnsley itself (S63, S70, S71 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Darton, Hoyland Nether and Wombwell.
Homes in and around Barnsley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the duct route at Barnsley surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Barnsley bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of South Yorkshire 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- 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.
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.
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.
