Working in Brierley Hill
We work right across Brierley Hill — DY2, DY5 and DY8 — and in neighbouring Stourbridge and Dudley.
Homes in and around Brierley Hill vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fans fitted in Brierley Hill bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. For windowless bathrooms in Brierley Hill homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. 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 check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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 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.
