Working in Stanley
We work right across Stanley — DH9 — and in neighbouring Chester-le-Street and Consett.
In Stanley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Fans fitted in Stanley bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. We check the duct route at Stanley surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Water across much of County Durham is 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
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.
