Working in Felling
In Felling we cover NE8, NE9 and NE10; we also cover Gateshead, 1.4 miles away, and Newcastle upon Tyne.
Homes in and around Felling vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We check the duct route at Felling surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. If your Felling bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
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
- 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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
