Working in Tamworth
In Tamworth we cover B77 and B78; we also cover Lichfield, 6.3 miles away, and Sutton Coldfield.
Across a large town like Tamworth, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Tamworth bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. If your Tamworth 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.
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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
