Working in Lofthouse
We cover every part of Lofthouse, including LS10, LS26 and WF3, and nearby Wakefield (3.2 miles) and Morley (4.2 miles).
Lofthouse gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Lofthouse 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. In Lofthouse flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are soft. 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
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.
Intermittent or continuous
An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.
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.
