Working in Tipton
In Tipton we cover DY1, DY4 and WV14; we also cover Dudley, 2.1 miles away, and Wednesbury.
Homes in and around Tipton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Tipton 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. For windowless bathrooms in Tipton homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- 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
- 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.
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.
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.
