Haven't thought to check if air comes out, just noted that there was an absence of cold water! Hot tap works OK we live in a bungalow and all other taps seem OK.

I think they come from a cold tank in the loft. the pipes were there when we moved in. We noticed the problem a few weeks after we moved in but we have no done any alteration near by. We've been all over the loft doing other things but not seen any leaks up there. I'm flummoxed (but it...

In my bathroom sink (ground floor). I have a mixer tap, the cold tap sometimes takes up to a minute to come on. It's worse seems to happen when the tap has not been used for a while, e.g. first thing in the morning. Once it has come on if you turn it off then on a few minutes later you don't get...

We did try it with another supply (using an extension lead) Just that we have a new boiler I wonder if it is the interfering. What did you end up doing to get rid of the interference from your neighbours oven?

Hi All Hoping you might be able to help. We moved into a house a few months ago and everything was OK with the TV signal. We had someone in to put in a new boiler and tank (should be unrelated) and now the TV signal disappears intermittently. The set up (to me) seems a bit convoluted. We...

Hi We moved into a flat which has no sound proofing (as far as we can tell) with the flat above. It's an old victorian house that's been carved into flats. It's driving us all mad and we (both flats) are looking at solutions-we can hear both impact and airbourne noise. We have 2...

Hi I've currently got flush ceiling lights in the flat I moved into and although everyone seems to love them, I prefer the traditional ones that hang down. Is it easy to convert these back and how woud I go about it? I'm in the London area, how much would I expect to pay to get an...

worryingly yes it is! it's going straight into the void in our ceiling

Just had a bit more of a look at the extractor fan It's not connected to any sort of pipe or exhaust. This is really bad isn't it? The fan stopped working at the weekend so we haven't been using it but I think water escaping passively through the hole into the gap in the ceiling. Today...

It didnt' go bang but it did spit then stop working! The last owner did seems to have cut so many corners that I'm not surprised! thanks it's really appreciated. it all means I know how to sort it out now

Thanks Symptoms I'll have a look, I take it it means that they fan is probably OK

having the same problem with my bay window (5 panes wide altogether! total nightmare). I did see one in Argos for 3 panes

Hi I live in a flat conversion (Victorian or Edwardian I think) and we have problems with the noise. In one room we can here upstairs sneeze and they have laminate floors What can we do (either to our ceiling or their floor or inbetween the two) and what would ball park costs be...

Hi All Hoping that someone might be able to help me. I've moved into a flat and the previous owners seemed to have bodged a lot of things so my problem may be due to a dodgy job. We have a mm53592 micromark extractor fan in the ceiling. When we first took showers it seemed to work OK but...
