Working in Burton upon Trent
In Burton upon Trent we cover DE14 and DE15; we also cover Swadlincote, 4.2 miles away, and Derby.
Across a large town like Burton upon Trent, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For windowless bathrooms in Burton upon Trent homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. We check the duct route at Burton upon Trent surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Supplies across most of Staffordshire 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
Decisions to make first
Wall or ceiling
A wall fan on an outside wall is the simplest. A ceiling fan over the shower takes steam away at source but needs ducting through the loft.
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.
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.
