Working in Bishop Auckland
As well as Bishop Auckland itself (DL4 and DL14), we survey in Spennymoor, Newton Aycliffe and Durham.
Homes in and around Bishop Auckland vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Bishop Auckland bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. Fans fitted in Bishop Auckland bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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 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.
