Hi all. I have an outside light which seems to flicker like crazy. At first I thought faulty light bulb, but then I realised the problem is worse when it is raining. In dry weather it's either a steady dim light, or not working at all. In wet weather it flickers and flashes randomly. I...

Hi there, I am having trouble pairing up this Honeywell wireless thermostat with the remote reciever which was pre-installed. The thermostat is a T3H700RF0096, replacing a broken T3H700RF0096-1 which used to work fine. Both the replacement and old are visibly identical, and both are Reciever...

Hi, can I paint Dryzone anti-condensation paint (or similar) on a plastic surface, or will it corrode/harm the plastic in some way? This will be on the underside of plastic roof channel which is prone to condensation, so I can't risk harming the plastic. I don't have a 'spare' area to test it...

Our house was once rectangular, then we had a two-storey extension built on one side, creating an L-shaped house, and L-shaped loft. Since then, ventilation and condensation has been an issue around the loft space, as I believe the air doesn't circulate the same way in an L-shape compared to...

OK so I think my roof has been botched. My roof valley is made of plastic and is totally exposed on the underside, fully visible in loft space. No felt or membrane under it. The exposed plastic is prone to bad condensation which then contacts the woodwork and soaks in -- a worry for weakened...

This is the endpoint of a roof beam beneath a plastic roof valley (the dark grey strip). You can see it appears to be soaked in water on its lower half. I believe the water is dripping off the plastic surface and soaking into the beam. (white membrane feels dry to touch). I'm confident this...

Call me paranoid but I don't believe the so called breathable membrane (used instead of traditional felt) in my extension loft is really all that breathable. I've had problems with mould and condensation (and yes I've ensured soffit vents are clear of lagging). Would it be OK if I cut a few...

Hi, I'm hoping somebody knows an easy fix for this. Our house has a small two-storey extension at the front so there are now two adjoining sloped roof sections on the house (see pic). All is fine but there's one problem. The two roof sections have plastic (not lead) roof valleys/channels...
