Working in Peebles
We cover every part of Peebles, including EH45, and nearby Penicuik (12.5 miles) and Galashiels (15.1 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Peebles: free survey, written quote, one team. In Peebles 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. We check the duct route at Peebles surveys, because a short, straight run to outside matters more than the fan's headline figure.
Water across much of the Scottish Borders 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
- 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
- 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
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.
