Working in Omagh

We cover every part of Omagh, including BT78 and BT79, and nearby Strabane (16.9 miles) and Enniskillen (22.3 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Omagh: free survey, written quote, one team. For windowless bathrooms in Omagh homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Omagh bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.

Most of County Tyrone is supplied with soft water. Even so, condensation is the bigger problem in any bathroom, and a properly sized extractor is what deals with it. 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
  • 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
  • Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, ventilation is covered by Technical Booklet K, and building control is involved where a new bathroom is formed. There is no Part P, but the fan should be wired, tested and certified to BS 7671.

Is the water hard in Omagh?

Does a bathroom extractor fan in Omagh need building control approval?

Building control in Omagh is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

What extraction rate does a bathroom fan need?

In England, Approved Document F asks for 15 litres per second from an intermittent bathroom fan, or 8 litres per second from a continuous one. Scotland's Technical Handbook also uses 15 l/s for a bathroom, Wales has similar rates in its own Part F, and Northern Ireland sets its rates in Technical Booklet K. Choose a fan that reaches the rate through your actual duct run, not just in open air. Our extractor fan rules guide explains more.
