My radiators get hot when the hot water is switched on . I have checked other valves for the radiators and UFH. They are both closed. Only the hot water valve is open. I also tested with just the heating on . The hot water valve closes. I touched all the pipes to feel the heat I noticed...

I had a water leak in my bathroom a couple of months ago and now have mushroom fungi growing on the kitchen ceiling underneath the bathroom . How do I stop this please and do I just pluck it to remove it ? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you this seems to be the case. The system does not appear to be working as intended. As the tissue placed in front of the vent stayed still. How do I make a good seal of the extractor fan ?

Hi All, I am currently having my bathroom refurbished. It is an ex council block of flats. The vent already in place appears to be a cover so not sure how this is meant to work i.e. extract steam. Also noticed that no other flat on the block appears to have an electric extractor fan. Can I...
