Working in Bishopbriggs
We cover every part of Bishopbriggs, including G64, and nearby Glasgow (3.2 miles) and Kirkintilloch (3.4 miles).
Bishopbriggs gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Bishopbriggs 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. We check the duct route at Bishopbriggs surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Water across much of Greater Glasgow is 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
- 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
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
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.
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.
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.
