Working in Erskine
We work right across Erskine — G60, G81 and PA8 — and in neighbouring Clydebank and Renfrew.
Erskine gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We check the duct route at Erskine surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure. For windowless bathrooms in Erskine homes, continuous extract that boosts on humidity often works better than a fan tied to the light switch.
Most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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
- A fan chosen to meet the bathroom extract rate: 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous
- A backdraught shutter and external grille, so cold air does not blow back in
- Making good around the fan and checking that it extracts properly at the grille
- Run-on timer, humidistat or light-linked switching set up to suit how the room is used
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
