Working in Elgin
We work right across Elgin — IV30 — and in neighbouring Lossiemouth and Forres.
In Elgin, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Elgin 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. If your Elgin bathroom has black mould on the ceiling or silicone, the fan and its duct are the first things we check.
Supplies across most of Moray are 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
- 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
- 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.
Replacement air
A fan needs air to replace what it removes, so leave a gap of around 10 mm under the door or fit a door grille. A sealed room starves the fan.
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.
