Just thinking ... would an extractor fan with humidity sensor solve the problem ??

Hi Ken The walls externally seem OK although you can see on the walls where the rain seem to be coming down . Roof is flat roof and there seems to be no leaks . No form of heating in the room , there is a window which we open but have to close at night for obvious security reasons. The mould...

I have a room linked to my kitchen with 2 external single brick walls .. the room has been plastered and there is an air vent in the wall but these 2 walls still get wet (due to Condensation I think ) and now the room smells "stale" and mould has started to appear on the walls. Will an...

Quick question Is it safe and ok to use broken ceramic tiles to form a mosaic pattern on a shower floor around a drain ? Approx 3ftx3ft. This is because the tiles are too big and the floor is sloPed towards the drain. Or should I be using proper mosaic tiles ???

Thanks for replying karis , I was begining to give up hope ! I am planning to start tiling the floor later on today , so any replies would be much appreciated. I will try and answer your questions as clearly as I can. Q.What are the walls made of, block with render/plaster or stud...

Hi all , First of all I want to say to considering i have never tiled before in my life , i have found this forum so helpful and interesting , so a big thankyou to all. Here's my situation :- My mother had a downstairs shower and toilet room extension built about 5 years ago. The floor...

just had that replaced , initially when hot water was turned on radiators would heat up instead, had diverter valve replaced , but now display shows "c" with flashing neon light whenever central heating is turned on. normally it should be solid, and also doesnt seem to ire up the boiler when...

boiler seemed to be working fine for a few days.. but now when the central heating is turned on a "c" is displayed but the burner light constantly flashes instead of going solid ... any ideas ??

Is there any way to make this boiler "unsensitive " to dripping taps ?

I turned off cold water supply and presto!!! Central heating runs continuously without interruption , I've checked again for dripping taps and noticed that a couple are constantly "wet" although not dripping , could this be enough to cause it to keep switching to status "d" ?

I have checked for dripping taps but have found nothing , when the "d" is displayed there is no neon light on either, and the pump doesn't seem to be running either until I actually open a hot water tap. Some friend mentioned possibility of thermistor needs replacing , does this make any sense...

My ideal isar he24 boiler was heating up the radiators whenever the hot water taps were turned on. I have replaced the diverter valve , which seemed to have the spring stuck and not bounce back when pushed in. This seems to have fixed that problem as now whenever the hot water is turns on it...
