Working in Batley
As well as Batley itself (WF12, WF13 and WF17), we survey in Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and Liversedge.
In Batley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For windowless bathrooms in Batley homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Batley bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. Even so, condensation is the bigger problem in any bathroom, and a properly sized extractor is what deals with it. 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
- 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
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.
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.
