Working in Chapeltown
In Chapeltown we cover S5, S35 and S74; we also cover Hoyland Nether, 2.6 miles away, and Wombwell.
Chapeltown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Fans fitted in Chapeltown bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Chapeltown bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Supplies across most of South Yorkshire are moderately hard. 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
- 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- 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.
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.
