Working in Billingham
We work right across Billingham — TS23 — and in neighbouring Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough.
In Billingham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Billingham 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 Billingham surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Supplies across most of County Durham 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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
Decisions to make first
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.
Axial, centrifugal or inline
Axial fans suit short, straight runs; centrifugal fans cope better with longer ducts; inline fans sit in the loft and are the quietest in the room.
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.
