Working in Stirling
In Stirling we cover FK7, FK8, FK9 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Alloa, 5.7 miles away, and Falkirk.
Homes in and around Stirling vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For windowless bathrooms in Stirling homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. Fans fitted in Stirling bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room.
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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- Core-drilling through the wall, or ducting through the loft to a roof or soffit vent
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.
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.
