Working in Kirkintilloch

We work right across Kirkintilloch — G66 — and in neighbouring Bishopbriggs and Cumbernauld.

Kirkintilloch gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Fans fitted in Kirkintilloch bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. If your Kirkintilloch home is listed or in a period terrace, a fan ducted through the loft to a roof vent can avoid a new hole in the front wall, though consent may still apply.

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

  • 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
  • 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

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.

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.

More about extractor fans & ventilation

Extractor fans & ventilation in Kirkintilloch: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom extractor fan in Kirkintilloch?

A bathroom extractor fan in Kirkintilloch usually costs £240–£600 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Kirkintilloch?

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.

Will a bathroom extractor fan in Kirkintilloch need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

How long does a bathroom extractor fan take?

Allow half a day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Kirkintilloch.

What extraction rate does a bathroom fan need?

In England, Approved Document F asks for 15 litres per second from an intermittent bathroom fan, or 8 litres per second from a continuous one. Scotland's Technical Handbook also uses 15 l/s for a bathroom, Wales has similar rates in its own Part F, and Northern Ireland sets its rates in Technical Booklet K. Choose a fan that reaches the rate through your actual duct run, not just in open air. Our extractor fan rules guide explains more.
