Working in Stranraer
As well as Stranraer itself (DG9), we survey in Dumfries, Locharbriggs and Annan.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stranraer: free survey, written quote, one team. In Stranraer flats, a new vent through an outside wall may need agreement from the other owners or the factor, so we raise it at the survey. For windowless bathrooms in Stranraer homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
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.
Wall or ceiling
A wall fan on an outside wall is the simplest. A ceiling fan over the shower takes steam away at source but needs ducting through the loft.
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.
