Working in Bloxwich
As well as Bloxwich itself (WS2, WS3 and WV12), we survey in Walsall, Great Wyrley and Willenhall.
In Bloxwich, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check the duct route at Bloxwich surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. Fans fitted in Bloxwich bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. Scale is a minor issue next to condensation, which is what a properly sized extractor fan is for. 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
- 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
Decisions to make first
Intermittent or continuous
An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.
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.
