Working in Elland
We cover every part of Elland, including HD3, HX4 and HX5, and nearby Halifax (2.2 miles) and Brighouse (2.6 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Elland: free survey, written quote, one team. In Elland flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. For windowless bathrooms in Elland homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
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.
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.
