I like your thinking Pistol1. One would need to sleeve the hole through the wall, as JohnD has done, sealed with gap filler or mastic between the outer surface of the sleeve and the internal leaf, otherwise there will be a draught from the cavity. This sleeve would need to be just big enough...

Thanks for your reply John I really like the idea of the duct being absorbed into the machine, I had concluded that was what is reqired but didn't know it was available. Mine doesn't have that feature unfortunately. The current m/c, which is ancient, is like yours and has side and rear...

This must be a common challenge and yet I cannot find anywhere that addresses it. A vented tumble dryer is to be fitted between two kitchen cabinets in a utility room. I can drill the vent pipe hole anywhere in the outside wall behind it. Initial consideration suggests that it should go in...

Hi Martin Thanks for your very quick reply. The short answer to your question is that no, it does not happen if I only operate the shower for about 10 secs. However, although I had searched DIYnot for this topic prior to posting and did not find anything similar, as soon as I had submitted...

I hope somebody can point me in the right direction please. We have a Triton Opal II shower installed by proper electrician about three years ago. It's in a new extension, and I am confident that the job was done properly. There is a dedicated MCB on our CU and the whole power side of the CU...

Durabond Lexel: that's what it is called. I recommend it. Thanks to all those that contributed

Thanks John. It's not from the Forever White range but you have made me realise that I have got confused and the nozzle I am describing is from that range and not what I'm after. Now I have probably put put everybody off the scent. Doh! I now recall that the nozzle was red, rigid and...

Thanks for your suggestions although none are exactly what I was after. I don't think it was primarily a roofing sealant, more of a bathroom/ kitchen product, on account of the very clear finish not being too important on a roof.

Hello, Please can anybody help me identify a sealant that I bought about a year ago but is no longer stocked by my local merchant and they cannot tell me the name. It was very good and I need some more but have been trawling the web without success. It came in a completely clear tube for...

A big "Thank you" to all who have replied and especially TicklyT for taking the time to draw the circuit. It has all been extremely helpful. Could I just ask your opinion as to the relative merits of this solution compared with the one involving relays. Obviously Hairyben has opted for it...

Hey, thank you both very much, guess I'll have to stick to the day job

I have added a second bathroom and created an effective extraction system using one mixed flow fan, with timer over-run (hence switched-live connection), ducted to both 'rooms. I should like to be able to switch the fan on from either room and to also have these switches activating a LV in the...
