Working in Stafford
We work right across Stafford — ST16 and ST17 — and in neighbouring Rugeley and Cannock.
Homes in and around Stafford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the duct route at Stafford surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. Fans fitted in Stafford bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
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
- 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
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.
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
