Working in Gorseinon
In Gorseinon we cover SA4; we also cover Llanelli, 5.2 miles away, and Swansea.
Gorseinon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Gorseinon 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. Fans fitted in Gorseinon bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Water across much of West Glamorgan is soft. 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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
