Working in Neath
We work right across Neath — SA7, SA10 and SA11 — and in neighbouring Briton Ferry and Clydach.
Homes in and around Neath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For windowless bathrooms in Neath homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Neath bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
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.
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.
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.
