Working in Blyth
We cover every part of Blyth, including NE23 and NE24, and nearby Bedlington (3.4 miles) and Ashington (4.1 miles).
Homes in and around Blyth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For windowless bathrooms in Blyth homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. Fans fitted in Blyth bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Supplies across most of Northumberland are 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
Decisions to make first
Wall or ceiling
A wall fan on an outside wall is the simplest. A ceiling fan over the shower takes steam away at source but needs ducting through the loft.
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.
