Working in Sutton Coldfield
We cover every part of Sutton Coldfield, including B72, B73 and B75, and nearby Washwood Heath (4.6 miles) and Aldridge (5 miles).
Sutton Coldfield has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Sutton Coldfield bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. If your Sutton Coldfield home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply.
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 check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- 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
Decisions to make first
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
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.
