Working in Newry
We work right across Newry — BT35 — and in neighbouring Banbridge and Portadown.
Homes in and around Newry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Newry bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. Fans fitted in Newry bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Most of County Down is supplied with soft water. 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
Decisions to make first
Noise
Compare the stated noise level in decibels. Inline fans and low-speed continuous fans are much quieter in the room than budget axial fans.
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.
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.
