Working in Felixstowe
As well as Felixstowe itself (IP11), we survey in Harwich, Walton-on-the-Naze and Frinton-on-Sea.
Felixstowe gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Felixstowe flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. For windowless bathrooms in Felixstowe homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Water across much of Suffolk is very hard. 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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
