Working in Pontefract
In Pontefract we cover WF7, WF8 and WF10; we also cover Castleford, 3.2 miles away, and Kippax.
Homes in and around Pontefract vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In Pontefract flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. For windowless bathrooms in Pontefract homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
Timer or humidistat
A timer keeps the fan running after the light goes off. A humidistat starts it whenever moisture rises, which suits rooms where people forget.
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.
