Working in Kidsgrove
We cover every part of Kidsgrove, including ST7, and nearby Biddulph (3.3 miles) and Congleton (5.4 miles).
Homes in and around Kidsgrove vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Kidsgrove bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. For windowless bathrooms in Kidsgrove homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Water across much of Staffordshire is 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
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.
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.
