I am wanting to replace a nearly 20 year old, but now noisy, Greenwood Airvac R90 bathroom extractor fan that is ceiling mounted directly above an over bath shower. The bathroom measures (w x l x h) 2.38m x 2.1m x 2.49m. This is, roughly, 12.45 cu. metres. The floor of the bath to the ceiling...

Many thanks pcaouolte. To err on the side of caution, once the bell box is in Hold-Off then I will power off the control panel fully.

Thank you both for your very prompt responses. They are appreciated. I have finally managed to identify the bell box (found a receipt in all the old paperwork that the previous owner left) which has enabled me to find an online manual. http://www.wmestore.co.uk/media/Odyssey_user_manual.pdf...

I am making some changes to my loft flooring but need to re-route the cable for the alarm bell box, as it presently runs over the top of a joist (where the water tank used to be). The cable is jointed, handily where I want to re-route the cable, using a punch down joint box (connections like...

Wise Words Woody. I think that is indeed the best course of action in the circumstances. Many thanks for your help. It has been greatly appreciated. I'm glad I could get you through the 500 thanks barrier.

Hi Woody, Many thanks for your comments. I had learnt that FENSA doesn't cover conservatories. It was getting the FENSA certificates for the windows that triggered my thought process. This is a hopeful sign. The conservatory footprint is identical to the previous one as it's using the...

Hi FreddyMercurysTwin, Thanks for your response. What sort of "a whole lot more information" do you have in mind? The company salesman and designer were both advised that I needed Planning Permission for the original conservatory and why (there is a dirt track, which the planning dept...

Hi Joe90, Once it was completed to the company's advertised standards (a long two year battle!!), the uPVC conservatory did look a great deal better that the timber one that was full of rot. I can see your point of view though. Many thanks.

Planning permission was deemed necessary, and obtained, when I had a timber framed, stone dwarf walled conservatory built in 1994. This was because there is a private road running round the back of my terraced house and does not relate to the size of the conservatory, which is well within any...
