What does a bathroom extractor fan cost in Nairn?

Working in Nairn
We work right across Nairn — IV12 — and in neighbouring Forres and Inverness.
Nairn gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the duct route at Nairn surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. For windowless bathrooms in Nairn homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Most of the Highlands and Islands is supplied with soft water. 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
- 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
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
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.
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.
