Working in Bangor

We work right across Bangor — LL57 and LL59 — and in neighbouring Caernarfon and Llandudno.

Bangor gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Bangor 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. If your Bangor bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.

Most of Gwynedd 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

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
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

Decisions to make first

Intermittent or continuous

An intermittent fan runs during and after use. A continuous fan runs quietly all the time at a low rate and boosts when humidity rises.

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.

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.

Extractor fans & ventilation in Bangor: questions

What is the price of a bathroom extractor fan in Bangor?

A bathroom extractor fan in Bangor usually costs £230–£550 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover LL57 and LL59 in Bangor?

Is the water hard in Bangor?

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

Building control for Bangor 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.
