Rules that apply in England

Questions from Darras Hall
What area around Darras Hall do you work in?
All of Northumberland. Near Darras Hall that includes Ponteland, Newburn, Blaydon-on-Tyne and Prudhoe.
What size extractor fan does a bathroom need?
In England a bathroom fan should extract at least 15 litres a second, measured at the fan, under Approved Document F. Long or bendy duct runs reduce flow, so the fan often needs to be rated higher than the minimum.
Can an extractor fan vent into the loft?
No. A fan should discharge to outside, because warm, moist air dumped in the loft condenses on the cold roof timbers and causes mould and rot there instead.
