Working in Larkhall
We work right across Larkhall — ML9 — and in neighbouring Wishaw and Hamilton.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Larkhall: free survey, written quote, one team. For windowless bathrooms in Larkhall homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch. If your Larkhall 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.
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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
- Wiring by a qualified electrician, with an isolator outside the room and RCD protection
- A check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
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.
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.
