Working in Dudley
We cover every part of Dudley, including B64, DY1, DY2 and 5 more postcode districts, and nearby Tipton (2.1 miles) and West Bromwich (4 miles).
Across a large town like Dudley, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Dudley bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. We check the duct route at Dudley surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
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
- 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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.
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.
