Working in Locharbriggs
We work right across Locharbriggs — DG1 — and in neighbouring Dumfries and Annan.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Locharbriggs: free survey, written quote, one team. For windowless bathrooms in Locharbriggs homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. Fans fitted in Locharbriggs bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Supplies across most of Dumfries and Galloway 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
Decisions to make first
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.
Noise
Compare the stated noise level in decibels. Inline fans and low-speed continuous fans are much quieter in the room than budget axial fans.
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.
