Working in Yarm
As well as Yarm itself (TS15, TS16 and TS17), we survey in Thornaby-on-Tees, Stockton-on-Tees and Billingham.
Yarm gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Yarm 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. We check the duct route at Yarm 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
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.
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.
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.
