Working in Kilwinning
As well as Kilwinning itself (KA13), we survey in Irvine, Kilmarnock and Ayr.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kilwinning: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Kilwinning bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. Fans fitted in Kilwinning bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Water across much of Ayrshire 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
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
Decisions to make first
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
