Working in Sudbury
We work right across Sudbury — CO10 — and in neighbouring Colchester and Haverhill.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Sudbury: free survey, written quote, one team. In Sudbury flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. Fans fitted in Sudbury bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Supplies across most of Suffolk are 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 backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
