Working in Peterlee
In Peterlee we cover SR8; we also cover Seaham, 5.5 miles away, and Hartlepool.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Peterlee: free survey, written quote, one team. Fans fitted in Peterlee bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Peterlee home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply.
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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- 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.
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.
