Working in Newtownards
In Newtownards we cover BT23; we also cover Bangor, 4.8 miles away, and Castlereagh.
Homes in and around Newtownards vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Newtownards bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. We check the duct route at Newtownards surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Supplies across most of County Down 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- 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
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.
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.
