Working in Lichfield
We cover every part of Lichfield, including WS13, and nearby Burntwood (4.3 miles) and Tamworth (6.3 miles).
In Lichfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Lichfield flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. If your Lichfield home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply.
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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
