thats what I was afraid of.. so just a normal breathable membrane then?

In general cause I like it more and don't want to have messy mineral wool on the floor (which I do now). But I don't think it's massively important to this question.

Hi, Planning to replace the roof (membrane, battens, tiles) in the 1970s terraced house, was planning to put in a breathable membrane (eg roofshield), however one of the roofers suggested breatherquilt instead (https://ybsinsulation.com/brands/breatherquilt/). Any thoughts about it? I'm a bit...

Ordered a centrifugal from soler & palau - https://www.justfans.co.uk/ebb-170-centrifugal-extractor-fan-ebb-170n-p-160.html. 220m^3/h, 36 dB. Will see how good it really is.

what about this one: https://www.gil-lec.co.uk/vent-axia-439251-quadra-centrifugal-fan-240v-timer-pullcord ? seems to be 216m^3

Thanks. Would the inline fan itself have to go into the run to external wall itself? All the youtube videos about them suggest it needs to be installed in the loft?

Can be 150mm I checked

How do I 'close' the light? Put a cover on the loft side?

A good one I think :) We do use a bath quite a bit so I imagine some steam

If you mean in the bathroom there's just a light

Ok that's what I thought. In terms of the fan, as I understand I need a centrifugal one for the long duct?

It's something like the attached picture

The extractor fan is not in the loft, it's in the bathroom - or rather at the bathroom end of this path between the external wall and the bathroom. Loft is above it all.

No, there's just a boxed part of the bedroom wall that goes toward the external wall, there's no kind of duct inside

Hi, I guess a relatively typical issue - I was installing the glass wool insulation in the loft and after having done the 1st layer (between the joists) there's now a lot of condensation on the roof roughly above the bathroom (I don't think I've seen that much before - see picture). What's my...

Hi all I'm planning to replace my ancient up and over door with Carteck side hinged insulated one. However the lead time on those is ~12 wks so in the meantime I wanted to have some work on the garage done including putting a boiler on the wall next to the door. Obviously the existing up and...

We will request paperwork through the solicitor, but there's a building control approval for it

We have done a structural survey on the terraced house we are looking to buy and the surveyor is concerned about the patio doors the seller has just installed, specifically that they are rendered around (rather than covered with bricks like the rest of the house) and that there is this bulge...
