Working in Rugeley
As well as Rugeley itself (WS15), we survey in Burntwood, Cannock and Lichfield.
In Rugeley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Rugeley flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. For windowless bathrooms in Rugeley homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- 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
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.
Noise
Compare the stated noise level in decibels. Inline fans and low-speed continuous fans are much quieter in the room than budget axial fans.
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.
