Working in Tynemouth
In Tynemouth we cover NE29, NE30 and NE33; we also cover North Shields, 0.9 miles away, and South Shields.
Homes in and around Tynemouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Tynemouth bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Tynemouth flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need freeholder consent, so we raise it at the survey.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is 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 backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
