Working in Penicuik
As well as Penicuik itself (EH26), we survey in Colinton, Bonnyrigg and Currie.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Penicuik: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Penicuik bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check. For windowless bathrooms in Penicuik homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Most of the Lothians 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
- Rigid or semi-rigid ducting kept short and straight, and insulated where it crosses a cold loft
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- 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
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.
