Working in Shoreham-by-Sea
We cover every part of Shoreham-by-Sea, including BN42 and BN43, and nearby Lancing (2.1 miles) and Portslade (2.6 miles).
Shoreham-by-Sea gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Shoreham-by-Sea flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. If your Shoreham-by-Sea 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.
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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
