Working in Willenhall
In Willenhall we cover WS3, WV12 and WV13; we also cover Wednesfield, 1.3 miles away, and Wolverhampton.
Homes in and around Willenhall vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fans fitted in Willenhall bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Willenhall flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
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.
