Blaydon-on-Tyne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Blaydon-on-Tyne 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. Fans fitted in Blaydon-on-Tyne bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
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.
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.
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.
