Good afternoon, I have a cable sticking out of the wall which was previously used to power xpelair fan with a switch (smart zwave switch but it's probably irrelevant). Now when both switch and fan are gone I have grey/brown/black/ground cable I want to use to power up just a single bulb with...

I've done it (after checking on this forum) as two layers of 60mm insulation. Rectangular ducting is in the 1st layer covered then by 2nd layer of insulation. I'm going with 22m chipboard and it looks quite stable now.

In my case it's an internal wall now (was external long time ago and hence dashed) all covered by pitched roof (joined into the main roof) above. I don't want to remove pebbledash as it's hard as rock and some of the bricks behind aren't looking that great. The same time while mortar is very...

Thank you, I've just realised after checking some old photos that kitchen walls also have telescopic vents installed. I believe it means that airbrick I see on the side of the kitchen wall is just a "faceplate" for telescopic vent. Basically it means that removing it won't help me a lot as I...

Hi All, I have a small extension (office) on the side of the another extension (kitchen). Kitchen has suspended floor with air bricks on all the sides as normal. Office is supposed to have a floor without any voids so kitchen air bricks as I understand have to be channelled across. Question...
