Working in Cumbernauld
In Cumbernauld we cover G67; we also cover Airdrie, 5.6 miles away, and Coatbridge.
Homes in and around Cumbernauld vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Cumbernauld 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. We check the duct route at Cumbernauld surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Water across much of Lanarkshire 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
- 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 fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
