Working in Barrhead
In Barrhead we cover G53, G78 and PA2; we also cover Paisley, 2.7 miles away, and Newton Mearns.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Barrhead: free survey, written quote, one team. Fans fitted in Barrhead bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Barrhead 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.
Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow 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 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
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.
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.
