Working in Airdrie
We work right across Airdrie — ML6 — and in neighbouring Coatbridge and Bellshill.
Homes in and around Airdrie vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fans fitted in Airdrie bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Airdrie 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.
Most of Lanarkshire 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
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
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.
Timer or humidistat
A timer keeps the fan running after the light goes off. A humidistat starts it whenever moisture rises, which suits rooms where people forget.
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.
