Thanks for the response bab. I had a quick look but was not able to see much . I will try again tommorow day time. The pipe is behind the tank and i cannot seem to see the face of the pipe. One other thing I forgot to mention is that the bath sink has one of them noisy motors on so we could...

Hi, thanks for the responses. I am not very technical with these things, so here goes: I do not have a combi boiler in my flat, i have to turn on the hot water switch in advance to get hot water. Upstairs I have a big water tank that is covered by a sponge material and above that I have the...

Hi everyone, Since last night all of a sudden the hot water flow from my kitchen and bathroom taps has become very slow. Does anyone know why this would happen all of a sudden? What can I check, has something gone wrong? Thanks, any help would be appreciated. Syed

Hi guys, I'm really stuck here, I have a Potterton Performa 24 combi boiler and the trouble is that I only seem to be getting warm water in the bathroom. The kitchen's hot water is fine, but the heeating is not as hot as before. Could there be an air lock in the system, what do u chaps...

thanks for replying Thermo. The house isn't empty, and its always quite warm because of the granny. The mould is growing underneath the window seal and on the side wall. On the second room the mould is also near the window. So you think I should fit some ventillation fan or something...

Hi, Two of my bedroom walls seem to have black patches coming through the wallpaper. The wallpaper feels damp and in some areas its coming off. Any idesa what it could be, is it the ventilation or the fact that the house is always kept warm, in which case would i need to install some sort...

Hi, My guy has quoted me £100 to install an Extractor fan in my bathroom wall. The cabling to get the live from the ceiling light is 3 meteres away from where the fan is to be installed. Pease advise if he is asking for too much, I live in Luton. Thanks SHAD

HI chaps, I just wanted to know what the cost of fitting an extractor fan would be. I'm gonna buy the 5" Manrose Wall Fan with timer, does anyone know if these fans are any good. I've not got any quotes yet but normally i get this all rounder guy to do the things i cannot do or have time to...

Hi there, From experience of painting I would say your best bet is to get a steamer and get all of the paint off your walls. Unfortunately if you sand your walls and start painting you will still most likely be able to see the old paint, it may even be patchy. You can buy sealant, and the...

thanks again Thermo, will give it a try SHAD

one square metre Thanks

I recently had water coming through in my dining room. The problem was the gutter, apparently it was blocked and also bent. Having sorted out the gutter, I know have wallpaper that is obviously all black from the water that came through the wall. I now want to take that paper off and put new...

Thanks to the both of you. I think in respects of the fan I will go for the Humidistat and ask someone what temperature I should set it at. And as for the moulding and condensation that Thermo has replied to, I think I will take your advice. Thanks and Happy new year to everyone SHAD

Hi people, I have couple of questions which i would be grateful for if you guys can help. Firstly my bathroom has heavy condensation and most of the ceiling has gone black as there is poor ventilation. I was told to install a Humidistat fan to solve the problem. Are these Humidistat fans...
