Thanks. The anti vibration mounts may be the thing. Gonna go with Envirovent I think

No. Normal fan noise was acceptable initally but now is something different.

Had one replaced foc but will be looking for my money back on the second one whilst fitting a better model. AI is telling me brushless is best. Anyone confirm that?

AI seems confident with a solution but my experience with AI is that it sometimes is overconfident, to the point of bullshit. Can a human with experience advise?

That's the one. Not the cheapest one in Screwfix and worked fine initally. Been in since January and has developed noise. 2nd one of these I've installed, the one before lasted only 6 months. Is there a supplier who makes a fan that is just engineered better so it doesn't develop this noise?

Sounds like bearings. It is a noils that's developed over the past 6 months through wear I assume. There're 4 folk living in the flat and one of them has recently given birth so I think the fan hax probably had a fair bit of use over the last 6 months. I just wanna know if there's a fan that...

I've had 3 fans from Screwfix which after 6-8 months have all developed a noise. Which is the best quality bathroom extractor which will not develop a noise so soon in its life?

I removed the mixer valve and found an o ring unseated. It had migrated half an inch up the body of the valve. I replaced it for a new one (47p) and now the shower works fine. Thanks for your help Harry.

Hi Harry, it's a combi. A viessman model.

Hi, I'm only getting lukewarm water from my shower mixer tap even when the temp knob is turned to the max. The water from the basin tap is fine. Here's a couple of photos: The top valve turns the shower on and the bottom valve controls the temp. Does this look like a thermostatically...

Missed your post Mumroast. I said 35+ cis that's how long I'vo owned the house. If it's the original door, it could be 135 years old. Not much of a carpenter si won't be using the wood. Going to the dump tomorrow, unless you're anywhere near Sutton and wanna take it off my hands

It certainly had a lot of sun over its 35 yr + lifetime. I've used a 12 yr woodstain which claims high UV prorection after first dipping the top & bottom in wood preservative. Gave 2 coats of varnish on each side and 4 at the edges. Fitted it this morning and it seems fine. Thanks all for the...

Thanks for the tips Delux. Yes WNI, it looks good but maybe I've over engineered it a bit. Damn thing is pretty heavy so I'm concerned the hinges will not support the weight. I'm using 3 hinges, they come to just over halfway across the door. I can't really go any bigger as I am limited by the...

Hi all, Here's the door I came up with. The crossmembers are of 5 1/2" x 1 1/4" and frame 2 3/4" x 1 1/4" planks i rescued from a bed I was getting rid of and brace the planks of kiln dried T&G highlighted earlier. I treated and varnished the finished door with the products shown in the third...
