Working in Newport

We cover every part of Newport, including NP10, NP19 and NP20, and nearby Risca (4.6 miles) and Cwmbran (4.7 miles).

Newport is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We check the duct route at Newport surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. In Newport flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.

Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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

Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Part F with similar extract rates, and its own Part P, under which new fan wiring in a bathroom is notifiable.

Who handles building control for a bathroom extractor fan in Newport?

Building control for Newport is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
