Yeah, it does sound a good idea, like you say though i think they key here is getting fresh air into the loft space. I'm going to tackle that first before i try things like this out.

Are there any recommendations for lap vents? Number per sq meter or similar that you know off? And by the way - thanks for the recommendation, i didnt even know this was a thing. Finally, i had stopped insulating because of this issue, but it sounds like if anything continuing to insulate...

Ok, first off many thanks for all your input here, very valuable. Here is a picture of the membrane that sits in my roof space behind the rafters. I'm not sure what type this is, other than it's not felt, would lap vents be a good way forward here initially rather than venting the soffit...

Many thanks for the, slightly technical, response but I think I get the jist of it. It does bring me back to my question though, with no vents in the soffit, should I be installing vents to allow air to circulate more freely up th there as currently there are none that I can see?

Hi, I went up into the roof space very recently during the extremely cold weather we have had, it’s a fair size, you can stand up on it and walk around, however I’ve noticed quite a bit of condensation on the underside of the roof. I’ve never noticed this before and if I’m honest it freaked...

Hi all, I have a reasonably sized gap in my bedroom floor between the floor boards and the wall, maybe about 3cm wide. I recently lifted up the carpet etc and and still to replace the skirting but this bedroom is above another room that has a TV in it etc and it would be nice for soundproofing...

Hi folks, Just so you know, I switched out the dimmer for a Varilight v-pro MJP120 dimmer and it works! No more buzzing (yet).

Any suggested makes to look out for?

Many thanks for all the feedback here, however I don't feel any further forward in what step to take next. It seems that there no 100% guarantee easy way to fix this as it could be either the bulbs or the dimmer at fault but I think we've ruled out wiring. So, as above I can replace the bulbs...

Fair shout, they were installed by our kitchen supplier. They do look unused though. I’ll wait until next time I hear the buzzing, try to find the culprit and disconnect it with the lights on to see if the buzzing stops. I haven’t seen any flickering at all though.

Just missed this, should I try and find a particular faulty light then? They are all new for what it's worth.

Thanks, can I ask what you would recommend here then? Trying a different dimmer, replacing the switch etc?

Hi all, We recently had our kitchen done but we have a problem with our Dimmable LED spotlights in the kitchen. Sometimes, but not always, I hear a loud buzzing from the lights and then they shut off. I have 10 of them, controlled by a dimmer switch on the wall of which ONE of these dimmers...

Thanks for the advice. I'm sort of in two minds, it's been like this for a few months so do I just leave it etc. But then I'm just worried if the power cuts in the middle of the night and the bell goes off that I won't be able to stop it. I think I'm just going to have to grow a pair and pull it.

Hmm. That's what I'm worried about. If I disconnected the power and it did go off, is it likely to turn itself off after 15 mins or so? I can handle that, but what I don't want is it going off all day and not having any idea how to stop it. How does that work then, do some bells have batteries...
