Working in Bromsgrove
As well as Bromsgrove itself (B60 and B61), we survey in Redditch, Droitwich and Bartley Green.
In Bromsgrove, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Bromsgrove bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Bromsgrove flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of Worcestershire are moderately hard. Scale is a minor issue next to condensation, which is what a properly sized extractor fan is for. 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
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.
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.
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.
