Working in Motherwell
As well as Motherwell itself (ML1 and ML4), we survey in Bellshill, Hamilton and Wishaw.
Homes in and around Motherwell vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Fans fitted in Motherwell bathrooms are wired by a qualified electrician, with RCD protection and an isolator outside the room. In Motherwell 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
- 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
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
