Working in Newton Abbot
We work right across Newton Abbot — TQ12 — and in neighbouring Torquay and Paignton.
Homes in and around Newton Abbot vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Newton Abbot bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. We check the duct route at Newton Abbot surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Water across much of Devon 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 check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
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.
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.
