Working in Ballymena
We cover every part of Ballymena, including BT42, BT43 and BT44, and nearby Antrim (10.4 miles) and Magherafelt (15.2 miles).
Homes in and around Ballymena vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the duct route at Ballymena surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Ballymena bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Supplies across most of County Antrim 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
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 Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, ventilation is covered by Technical Booklet K, and building control is involved where a new bathroom is formed. There is no Part P, but the fan should be wired, tested and certified to BS 7671.
