Working in Bury St Edmunds
We cover every part of Bury St Edmunds, including IP32 and IP33, and nearby Thetford (11.9 miles) and Stowmarket (12.8 miles).
In Bury St Edmunds, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Bury St Edmunds bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. For windowless bathrooms in Bury St Edmunds homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Most of Suffolk has very hard water. Steam carries that scale onto mirrors and glass, so a fan that clears the room quickly helps on both counts. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
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.
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.
