Working in Horley

We cover every part of Horley, including RH6, and nearby Crawley (4.4 miles) and Redhill (4.6 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Horley: free survey, written quote, one team. In Horley flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. If your Horley 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.

Water across much of Surrey is 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

  • Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
  • Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
  • Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
  • A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

How much does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Horley?

Is the water hard in Horley?

Water across much of Surrey is 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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom extractor fan in Horley?

Building control for Horley is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a bathroom extractor fan take?

Allow half a day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Horley.

Can an extractor fan go above a shower?

Yes, if it suits the zone. The space above a shower or bath, up to 2.25 m, is zone 1, which needs at least IPX4, or IPX5 where water jets are used. Many fans come in mains and low-voltage versions, and the maker's instructions say which zones each can go in. The isolator stays outside the room.
