Working in Hartlepool
In Hartlepool we cover TS24, TS25 and TS26; we also cover Peterlee, 7.2 miles away, and Billingham.
Across a large town like Hartlepool, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For windowless bathrooms in Hartlepool homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. In Hartlepool flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
