Working in West Bromwich
In West Bromwich we cover B43, B64, B65 and 8 more postcode districts; we also cover Smethwick, 2.1 miles away, and Wednesbury.
West Bromwich has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Fans fitted in West Bromwich bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. We check the duct route at West Bromwich 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
- 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
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.
