Cheers guys. I'm heading there this afternoon to kick the ceiling below through as obviously that is out. (It's lathe Covered with board). I have the tools and even a laser level so I'll bang that on and send a pic. Also have a circ saw. I did once level the floors by just going on...

No way can I take up the existing joists. I've removed all floorboards. It now runs 6m by as above taking in a bathroom and landing. Easiest option is to cross existing joists instead of laying:cutting a a peice of timber on top of each existing one.. I just want it to be quiet and solid.

Not ground floor.

On non switched fused spurs outside in hallways. Thanks

Hi all Renovating one of my properties I purchased 15 years with subsidence at the rear extension (28 years old). Property is over 120 years old. When I first purchased it I made do by literally screwing 2x1 roofing battens at the back extension on top of the existing floorboards/cut...

I think a simple 'hidden' fused isolator will suffice. Cant see them pulling a fuse tbh. Thanks

What is that type of seal? Plus where could I mount them out of reach??

One of my other properties has them fitted above the doorway/entrance to bathroom and kitchen. Tenant keeps turning them off as she reckons it makes the rooms cold. Starting to get black mould in areas now and have never had problems before. Cheers

I don't think they will bother to remove a fuse tbh. The Envirovent fans are silent on when on constantly/trickle. They will only be aware of them when boost is activated. The reason is I have had this before with fan isolators being fitted and mould/no air flow in bathrooms and found fan...

Hi all Cracking on with rewire on one of my properties and done x2 rings and ripped out all the old wiring etc. Looking to fit x2 constant trickle fans. One in bathroom and one in kitchen. The kitchen one was fed from a switched fused spur (4" hole already there). The bathroom one...

It dues se a bit dodgy. I've decided on this now. 0.8mm thick and good reviews. https://ebay.us/m/LGmvUA What taps are you guys fitting from Screwfix/Toolstation or similar? something modern and simple (don't want pull out shower head etc) and that can be replaced if fault occurs. Plus what...

Probably going to get one of these. This is 1mm, but is reversible with extra hole- https://ebay.us/m/tHdeh6 This is 1.2mm but don't like idea of square strainer/replacement 'plug'?- https://ebay.us/m/tmoFEB

My Blanco one I fitted in 2000 has flexis. So do all the other monobloc's I have fitted since.

Mmm. Did not think about that regarding AICO alarms. Pretty stupid not to have some done go of induction when power is lost. Are the lithium batteries in the 3000 series 10 year though? Which is the lifespan of the alarm as well.
