Working in Middlesbrough
In Middlesbrough we cover TS1, TS2, TS3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Billingham, 2.4 miles away, and Stockton-on-Tees.
Middlesbrough has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Fans fitted in Middlesbrough bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Middlesbrough flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Supplies across most of North Yorkshire are moderately hard. 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
