Working in Whitley Bay
We cover every part of Whitley Bay, including NE25, NE26 and NE30, and nearby North Shields (1.6 miles) and Tynemouth (1.7 miles).
Homes in and around Whitley Bay vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For windowless bathrooms in Whitley Bay homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. We check the duct route at Whitley Bay surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
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
- 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- 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.
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.
