Working in Fraserburgh
We cover every part of Fraserburgh, including AB43, and nearby Peterhead (15.3 miles) and Inverurie (30.9 miles).
Fraserburgh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For windowless bathrooms in Fraserburgh homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. Fans fitted in Fraserburgh bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Supplies across most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire 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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- 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
- 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 Scotland
In Scotland, the Technical Handbook also uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom. A replacement fan rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom may.
