Working in Wolverhampton
In Wolverhampton we cover WV1, WV2, WV3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Willenhall, 2.7 miles away, and Tipton.
Wolverhampton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We check the duct route at Wolverhampton surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. In Wolverhampton 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
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.
Wall or ceiling
A wall fan on an outside wall is the simplest. A ceiling fan over the shower takes steam away at source but needs ducting through the loft.
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.
