Working in Newton Aycliffe
We work right across Newton Aycliffe — DL4 and DL5 — and in neighbouring Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor.
Homes in and around Newton Aycliffe vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Newton Aycliffe bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Newton Aycliffe flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
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.
