Working in Burgess Hill
We work right across Burgess Hill — RH15 — and in neighbouring Haywards Heath and Lewes.
Homes in and around Burgess Hill vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For windowless bathrooms in Burgess Hill homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. In Burgess Hill flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of West Sussex are hard. Steam carries that scale onto mirrors and glass, so a fan that clears the room quickly helps on both counts. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
