Working in Carrickfergus
We cover every part of Carrickfergus, including BT38, and nearby Newtownabbey (5.6 miles) and Bangor (6.7 miles).
Homes in and around Carrickfergus vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fans fitted in Carrickfergus bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Carrickfergus flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- 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
- 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 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.
