Thanks. I'll have a look. I've never used one, just thought the stuff for domestic use more for show and you couldn't get the benefit without some sort of industrial / commercial quality expense.

No chance unfortunately. I would if I could.

Thanks, that's a really good idea. Someone else recommended them but I thought they were a bit of a con. Any you recommend ? Do you just get one on Amazon or does it have to be a HEPA air filter?

So is this just a square / box fan? Would that be better than a ducted fan?

You're right, that's why I'm asking for input here so I can have the conversation now before they begin. If it's reasonable for me to ask and for me to pay the cost (if not already included in their quote) then that's fine and that's what I've learnt. If it's standard for them to include all...

It's at one end of the house and they'll build a frame with a door to partition that section off, seal the gaps. but inevitably yes, the door will open for breaks and access. How else can it be done?

good point. i'll ask about tools and dust extractors.

I have about the dust being vented out. but i suspect when it comes to it, it won't be followed precisely and doors will open spreading **** all over the place. haven't asked about cutting / sanding outside yet. Do you think i'm asking something unreasonable?

Thank you, my ceiling is the same. I'm worried about the mess. I have been looking at the ducted fans - I was thinking of a 12" 3600m3/hr. which seems pretty powerful. what did you use? i don't mind paying for that if it will help. If i duct this out the window, do i need to seal up the...

I'm about to have a ceiling removed in an old victorian house, as well as other refurb work done (new bathrooms), lots of tiling, general decoration, ceiling repairs etc. etc. 3 months worth and I'll be living in the property but I'm very sensitive to dust - eye and lung issues. The...

I’ve been waiting to reply to this - I recently had the whole set up taken apart. It may not be the same problem as yours. 6 years worth of accumulated food watse had blocked the waste pipe so any new waste was being forced back up the nearest outlet (in this case the quooker). Now it’s...

thanks Nige, will try that. i''ll need to get someone in as the trap is integrated in the tray and can't see the pipe

Hi, I have a drainage problem in the shower which I'd really appreciate some help with. The drainage during a shower is so slow that the water will come up to the top of the tray (3-4 inches). It will then drain away after 5-10 seconds when the shower is turned off. The weird thing is, I...

Every 6 months or so my shower begins to drain slowly. Now and again a standard chemical will keep it flowing but this time the chemicals haven’t really helped and may actually have made it worse. I would prefer to us a drain snake / rod spring type thing. What I don’t’ understand is how...

Thanks Gazman, i don't think it's the sealant - they used CT1 frame sealant both inside and outside and in the box itself. I was just trying to see if there was some underlying fault that anyone might be aware of. i can attach photos but not sure they'll help much - it just looks like a...
