Working in Rutherglen
In Rutherglen we cover G40, G42 and G73; we also cover Cambuslang, 2.4 miles away, and Glasgow.
Homes in and around Rutherglen vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Rutherglen bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. In Rutherglen 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.
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 check of the room, any existing fan or vent, and the shortest route to the outside
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
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.
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.
