    Inline Bathroom Extractor Leaking

    Insulated ducting would help, also available are condensation traps, but that would need a pipe routing to a suitable drain for the water

    Insane bathroom condensation

    Just to echo the door point- I recently had my doors replaced, and went from having a 10mm gap under my bathroom door to a very small gap, maybe 2-3mm, and condensation has gotten noticeably worse.

    Insane bathroom condensation

    That's crazy imo. Did you put your room dimensions into the TLC vent check? I have a pretty small bathroom and I had to get an inline fan to hit their recommendation

    Insane bathroom condensation

    Are they recommended when they have 1.4m of ducting to go through? I find it very hard to believe anyone would recommend one of those extractor fans if it was doing anything but going straight through a wall. What does the TLC fan size calculator recommend?

    Replacement Solid Floor Insulation Options

    Aerogel is supposed to offer better performance than celotex or similar, so can be used thinner. However, A) it's incredibly expensive B)not sure it's suitable for floors C)there is some scepticism as to how much better it actually is

    Cracked clay gully replacement. A few questions

    I'd have a trap, just to prevent smells. I reckon you will have to cut that after the socket, but you may be lucky

    House internal breeze block vertical crack, will helical bars help?

    Personally, that meets my definition of a big crack, and I'd seek professional advice. For me a big crack is one you can get your fingers into

    Drainage cap

    these take some concerted effort to shift. Even more so if they've been out in the elements I imagine

    Can Planning Authority revoke 'sign off' where applicant undertakes 'further development' specifically excluded from the permit

    If something is not built in line with the drawings submitted to the planning dept, they can very much take action after the fact. See Tom Moore's daughter falling foul of that in the press a few months ago.

    I tried thinning dulux bathroom paint to seal new plaster, but it hasnt soaked in what should i do instead?

    I'm pretty sure you shouldn't use bathroom paint for mist coat, you should use "normal" emulsion, then overcoat with bathroom paint

    Leveling 110mm circular section of concrete (after it's set) for light fixing.

    I agree with above, but you could use shims or washers under the base, then seal the gap with silicone as an alternative (unless they are really off level)
