What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Alloa?

Working in Alloa
In Alloa we cover FK10; we also cover Stirling, 5.7 miles away, and Grangemouth.
Alloa gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Alloa bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. We check the duct route at Alloa surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Supplies across most of the Forth Valley 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
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
Decisions to make first
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.
Axial, centrifugal or inline
Axial fans suit short, straight runs; centrifugal fans cope better with longer ducts; inline fans sit in the loft and are the quietest in the room.
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.
