Working in Consett
In Consett we cover DH8; we also cover Stanley, 5.4 miles away, and Whickham.
In Consett, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Consett bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. For windowless bathrooms in Consett homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
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.
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.
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.
