Working in Clydach
As well as Clydach itself (SA6, SA7 and SA8), we survey in Neath, Swansea and Briton Ferry.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Clydach: free survey, written quote, one team. Fans fitted in Clydach bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. For windowless bathrooms in Clydach homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Most of West Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. Even so, condensation is the bigger problem in any bathroom, and a properly sized extractor is what deals with it. 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
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.
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
Rules that apply in Wales
Wales has its own Part F with similar extract rates, and its own Part P, under which new fan wiring in a bathroom is notifiable.
