Just tried this one and it did nothing :( https://www.diy.com/departments/kilrock-bar-keepers-friend-cleaner/653078_BQ.prd Will try the creamer that foxhole suggested - just wanted to start with something cheaper first.

No part number or model whatsoever :( The external bit has screw cap that broke as soon as you touch them as they harden with weather. Plus there is a tiny sealant stripe on top (that broke as soon as I removed the vent) to avoid water ingress from the top. Never understood trickle vents but...

Ok - will try taking one off and see if there is a part number

2015 - here is a pic of the inside bit

All the windows in my house have trickle vents like this. Does it mean the installer went around and removed the caps on a dozen of windows? And that would be because?

Are these indeed the same as mine? Mine seems to have lower edges at both ends, whereas the ones suggested have curvy edges at both ends

Thanks - will try that. Stain was already there when I purchased the house so cause is unknown.

Hi, Can anyone recommend how to remove the brown stain from my shower tray in the attached picture? I have tried bleach&lots of scrubbing as well as salt and lemon juice, both with no visible effect. Thanks

Hi, Any idea what model / part number the trickle vent in the attached is? One upvc window in the house I moved into has its exterior trickle vent missing (second attachment) and I am trying to find a replacement that matches the trickle vents in all the other windows of the house. Thanks

Pressure is ok in another bathrooms upstairs. Stopcock all fully open and no massive limescale in the mixer in question (I removed the head and I get the same flow rate out of the cord itself). It is as if that specific bathroom where the mixer in question is has low pressure. Unless, as I...

Hi, in the house I just moved in I have a combi boiler Ideal Logic ES35 (flow rate at 35C temp rise 14.5 l/min and specific rate of 16.9 l/min). Water coming out of the upstairs bath shower mixer (attached) is *very* slow, to the point that I can't really have a shower or even wash the foam...

Replaced trap with brand new trap and issue still occurs - I'll try the plunger suggestion next.

Ah and I'll also try and refit the existing trap and use the plunger.

Removed the trap - some limescale but a shape that is designed to kind of accumulate water (see pic). After removing the trap i can see through the basin plug hole, so the order from the top is basin plug hole, trap as per pic and then short straight pipe into the floor... I'll try and pour...

The door frame at the top seems ok really, i.e. no rotten frame but just paint coming off. What should I do? Like new door frame and all or more like apply some sealant around the door? On the pic of the bricks under the roof you see damp patches too, as if the thing was not relates to water...
