Working in Colinton
We cover every part of Colinton, including EH11, EH13 and EH14, and nearby Currie (2.2 miles) and Balerno (3.6 miles).
Colinton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Colinton bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. Fans fitted in Colinton bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
Supplies across most of Edinburgh 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 check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
