Well not even 2 weeks on and the replacement has gone the same way. Won't come on by itself. What a load of garbage. :rolleyes: Could it be to do with the old transformer? Going to get a refund from Toolstation. Can anyone recommend me a 4" humidistat fan that's more likely to be reliable...

Well chaps. just to update you, I've now replaced the fan. I noticed the new replacement looked a bit grubby and checked with the shop if it had been brought back for any reason. It had indeed been returned but with no note of it being faulty and it was the only one they had in the shop. So I...

I'll give that a try, but according to the instructions that would mean I'm increasing the threshold, meaning it would need even more humidity before coming on. I'm wondering if there's a phone app to show humidity so I can see if the bathroom is reaching 65c. 65c is apparently the minimum...

Well guys, it didn't make any difference. :( I'm going to see if I can get a replacement, though I'm not sure I have the receipt. Looking at my photo in the opening post, as far as wiring, it looks like I just need to unscrew the two wires coming out of the hole at the top right and re-screw...

Yes, I think a good fugg in the bathroom is required. :D

Thanks Adrian and John. Adrian, I think you're onto something. Are we looking at this as the humidity adjuster? edit: I just answered my own question as I've just put a screwdriver in the slot and turned it fully clockwise which should make it come on at 65% humidity. I'll have to see if it...

I'm afraid I've no idea how it's wired other than he just took the existing wires and connected to the fan. I don't think he changed anything as the old fan was much the same. As things are now, I'd pulled the switch this morning which turned the fan on and a while later it was off. I've just...

Hello chaps. I bought this fan a few weeks ago from Toolstation to replace my old one which stopped working and it's installed above the shower. https://www.toolstation.com/airvent-100mm-selv-12v-low-profile-extractor-fan/p74009?searchstr=74009 It works and in the first week or so it would...

Thanks guys! I'll buy that blue tape, and I'll try some of my WD40.

Will try those. Ah yeah, Frogtape is well known, I'll get some. :) This one...

Hi guys. After I finished my outdoor painting of concrete window sills, I've struggled to get a few remaining bits of masking tape off. I don't think I should have left it on for as long as I did, but it's also cheap masking tape. There are a few pieces that didn't come away and are stuck to the...

Thanks woody. Yes you're right, it's not smooth enough. And I didn't really get the horizontal pointing that good. I think I was so pleased that I managed to get the job done I was scared to disturb the mortar too much. I think there's some other areas of brickwork that need pointing so I'm...

Yes, I channelled the energy of my magic wand and boom, there before my very eyes was a freshly cemented brick. I also enlisted the help of Pink Floyd. :D

Thanks whall3y, that's encouraging! :)

Thanks. Yeah, my neighbour was going to try and a get a better brick match but in the end I used a brick I happened to have. Actually, I also had this darker brick which I thought was going to blend better but people told me to use the lighter one. Ah right, I didn't realise it takes weeks...

Hello chaps. I've never done any brickwork in my life but decided to have a go at replacing half a brick that was missing in the front wall of my house. Well actually, on my neighbour's side. He mentioned it to me one day while we were chatting and I said I'd have a go at it. I wonder what you...

Washed the glass today. Good fun using the squeegee. I learnt about always having the leading top edge angled forward which lets the water trail drip down instead of leaving a line of water behind on the glass. I think I could make a living cleaning windows.:D

Indeed, and thanks for the tip! (y)

UPVC cleaning - done! :cool: I tried car shampoo and a soft brush but in the end, I needed the Cif. I used a non abrasive scourer sponge and had to put some elbow grease into it. See this photo, I've circled around areas that had some mottling effect. With vigorous scrubbing I've managed to...

Thanks opps, good advice. Actually, yesterday and today I already went ahead and did my filling. I moistened the areas to be filled with an old toothbrush dipped in water. I made too much mixture the first time. I'm using a small 3 inch square plastic container and had only put about half an...
