Working in Newcastle under Lyme
We cover every part of Newcastle under Lyme, including ST5, and nearby Stoke-on-Trent (2 miles) and Longton (4.3 miles).
Across a large town like Newcastle under Lyme, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We check the duct route at Newcastle under Lyme surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. Fans fitted in Newcastle under Lyme bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
