Working in Halesowen
As well as Halesowen itself (B62, B63 and B64), we survey in Bartley Green, Brierley Hill and Dudley.
In Halesowen, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Fans fitted in Halesowen bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Halesowen flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
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 backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
Decisions to make first
Noise
Compare the stated noise level in decibels. Inline fans and low-speed continuous fans are much quieter in the room than budget axial fans.
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.
