Working in Whickham
As well as Whickham itself (NE11, NE16 and NE21), we survey in Blaydon-on-Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Whickham: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the duct route at Whickham surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. For windowless bathrooms in Whickham homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
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.
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.
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.
