Working in Burntwood
We cover every part of Burntwood, including WS7, and nearby Great Wyrley (3.7 miles) and Lichfield (4.3 miles).
Homes in and around Burntwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In Burntwood flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. We check the duct route at Burntwood surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Most of Staffordshire 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
