I suppose it is a combination of wet clothes, showering cooking etc. If I have got vents in the door, is there any point in putting in an air brick?

the condensation comes from central heating where the moisture gathers on the ground floor. I can't remember any problems before I fitted a uPVC door.

sorry, this is in an area where there is no black mould just condensation.

Hello everybody, As advised, to increase the ventilation, we decided to put in air vents into the front door but it has not made any difference. We have a 4 in a block flat with our flat on the upper 1st floor. As you come in the front door you have the stairs in front of you. It is the walls...

Good morning, thank you to everybody for advice and we decided to take people's advice. below is what we found. do we need both a screed to level off and then an adhesive? Any recommendations for materials? will screed on its own be ok on the side of the steps as we are not going to tile that...

good point, but we decided it would be easier to tile over.

we are just about to start tiling over existing tiling outside. what is the best adhesive to use? any other advice? and

doors have been done. there was no ragging at the cut edge. suppose you would use sandpaper if there was.

thank you very much for all your suggestions and particularly to Robin Banks for his fine artwork. There were a couple of recommendations for an evolution circular saw and we went and bought new. we were paying someone to trim the doors and I did not want to give him a saw that does not work and...

thank you. we are taking off 30mm, so should be ok. any thoughts on best circular saw to buy? It's to cut the bottom of 5 doors and and then not used again.

Maximum cutting capacity (90° bevel) 64mm what does cutting capacity 90 degree bevel mean? or to put it another way, what depth should this saw cut if you are simply trimming the bottom the door? thanks.

it's the window attachment I was asking about. I wondered if it was a type of shield to protect the window against rain.

can anyone recommend a clear silicone to fill in a hairline crack in roughcasting please?

thanks to all. part of my problem is that the property was built in the 1950's and not constructed to have double glazing, uPVC front doors or central heating. As everybody has indicated, it's the flow of air that is important. To me, not an expert, it certainly looks like condensation but we...

does anybody know what the purpose of this window attachment is for?
