Hi Redherring. Yes I realised after I posted it that it had been asked before. You will have to forgive me as I am new to this. Problem is there is nothing of the right size on sale so I suppose I will have to cut it and put two pieces on. If I use thermawrap, any idea on the right sort of...

By the way i forgot to mention that the loft hatch door is 875 x 660 mm and I havn't seen anything of the right dimensions in the DIY stores.

My bathroom is very cold. I have added extra insulation above it and put draught strips around the loft hatch. I now want to put some insulation on the loft hatch cover which lowers down on hinges to allow the loft ladder down. Can anyone reccomend the best stuff to use and best method of...

Thanks John it is the same power but it is quieter and the center piece comes out for easy cleaning. if I could find it cheaper then I would buy it but if not, then the one you linked to would be my next choice. thanks for your valuable advice as I am now clear on what to do.

Surely if there was a leak then the water would just run down the polythene? Actually I tried putting polythene accross the insulation underneath the re-roofed part and found nothing. Also if you look at the picture with the insulation rolled back, the ceiling looks dry. I have tried the...

I was shown a S&P TD250/100T mixed flow extractor fan in a plumbers merchants but it was £102 + vat. This seemed expensive even though it sounds like a really good one. I cant find it to buy on the internet-has anyone else heard of it?

The wood that is showing inside the loft is only on the re-tiled chimney area and I think its new wood that the roofers put in. I was wondering if that amount of wood was excessive in comparison to the rest of the roof? Also the felt looks a bit hap-hazard. I couldn't understand why they put...

Here are the photos that I said I would provide. Hope they give some ideas of what the problem might be.

To RichardC Thanks again for the advice and the website address. They definitely are cluster flies and I have put some fly papers up in the loft and sealed the gaps around the hatch with draught excluder and it seems to have worked. The best thing is that I can stop looking for dead animals...

There are no water pipes near it. I will upload photos tomorrow.

Thanks for that reply JohnD. I can get to the ducting. The actual fan is in the loft set about 2 feet from the ceiling entry point above the shower. Would a good course of action be to get a more powerful fan and use the existing ducting?

MisterG stated I have the same situation as this and Ban-all-sheds thinks this is not a good idea so I am anxious to hear the feedback on this one too.

I have a ceiling extractor fan with spotlight above my shower cubicle that is vented to outside. It looks very smart but seems pretty ineffective really. Can anyone suggest an effective one that might fit into the same place please?

Datarebal stated Do you mean of the damp on the bedroom ceiling or of inside the loft?

Does anyone out there have any ideas please?

I know nothing about plumbing or electrics but I had two Triton showers, after replacing the first one that stopped working with another one. That one stopped working too just outside of the guarantee so I avoided Triton after that. However if someone can fix it for £15 then I would give it a go...

I have been told that it is possible to replace a curved radiator in a round bay by measuring it and then finding somewhere that will bend one to fit. If this is right, then can anyone advise please on the best method of measuring it and would there be any problems with a rad that has been bent?

It hasn't happened to me but if he managed to have that film clip to hand to show that woman's husband then he is damned clever and deserves to get away with it!!!!!

I think its a long piece of threaded plastic that screws in. I am no expert but the flush button broke on my toilet and I asked the manufacturer to send me the complete new fixing. They did and it is fine now. hope this helps.

Whoops I havn't worked out how to do the quotes right either!
