Working in Kidderminster
We work right across Kidderminster — DY10 and DY11 — and in neighbouring Stourport-on-Severn and Stourbridge.
In Kidderminster, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Kidderminster flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. We check the duct route at Kidderminster surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
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
- 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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.
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.
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.
