Working in Strabane
As well as Strabane itself (BT81 and BT82), we survey in Omagh, Cookstown and Dungannon.
Strabane gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Strabane flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey. If your Strabane bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Water across much of County Tyrone is soft. 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 backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- 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
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.
