Thanks guys, i need to revisit this tomorrow. It sounds like the 3 wires need to be connected to the three terminals and not just two then. Ill revert with decent info and photos tomorrow. It doesnt help with 2 and 5 year old boys trying to help and climb the loft ladder

Just had a look at the unit i threw away and it has three connections i.e. N,S/L, L so Someone must have connected live input to either S/L or L, whats the difference? And is s/l the same as lt

Previous fan went off after the shower light went off after a while. The earth was cut back before installed i.e. The old fan just used live and neutral.

Arrggh, please help! I am replacing my in line extractor fan and can't get the wiring right. The input is red/brown and blue (two leads), looks like neutral has been cut right back but the extractor fan has 3 inputs, l, lt, n. I have connected the neutral to neutral and connected live to live I...

Hi, I have a loft mounted extractor fan that won't turn off, timer is kapult. Its my second in two years, this was a monrose kit. Can anybody recommend a good, reliable, cheap, say 30 quid, 100m loft mounted timer in line fan that also sucks more than 85m3? Could it be condensation...

There can't be cavity, I haved drilled deep enough for tv arm brackets and not hit that soft spot when drilling through, the soft bit is the plaster and then drilling is a nightmare, hammer drilling and tough drill bit! Yeah, no clothes drying upstairs and I put the extractor fan on longest...

Breeze block just a guess, drilling is a nightmare. How can I find out? i could upload a picture of my house but its just covered in white pebble dash.

Thanks johns!, its a lesson for me listening to you guys! the walls are very very cold in winter but then why would the mould just form only in places rather than smothering an entire wall i.e. At the bottom just above the skirting with the corners being worse? Also, when I moved in I noticed in...

I have a pebbledash finish on the outside.... My house was built in 1912. Why would single leaf have pebbledash exterior?

As before, my walls are solid concrete breeze blocks type. You can't put cavity wall insulation in them. Even channeling in a light switch is a major 'chiselling' and plastering exercise! No Leaks or overspills, the outside of the house is in good condition. Looking up mould resistant paint...

So reading the web link. The condensation appears in my house on the colder walls. So they get colder in the autumn/winter and hence a layer of condensation occurs on the inside where the cold brick meets warm inside air? Same theory as to why condensation occurs on our windows? So I can...

Yes, clothes airer during the winter as we dont have a tumble dryer but thats downstairs and the other end of the house. Can I redecorate but using mould resistant paint and wallpaper? Is there such things? I noticed ages ago when I moved in the house that the back of the bedside drawer...

The wall is south facing but it might as well face north, it gets buffeted by the wind and rain compared to the north side and yes its always cold, freezing in winter and cool in summer. The upstairs is the standard 3 bedroom, bathroom, landing type so no washing etc. The bedroom is always the...

Hi, On the interior of a couple of our walls, mould keeps forming. The walls are the more exposed ones i.e. No trees or buildings near. The mold keeps appearing down by the wall near the skirting in the autumn and winter and I have to keep spraying mould remover on the walls evry few weeks...

But its going yellow and then gaps are appearing between the blades i.e. Its becoming balder?

The first picture is the newly laid turf close up now so you can see its not green as it used to be!

No, in the second picture that darker green bit is the freshly laid turf, the bit in question. There used to be decking there so i ripped up the old decking with the intent of turfing the entire lawn but couldnt afford it so i thought id just laid some new turf where the decking was. The rest of...

No dog but certainly cleared stacks of bricks, pipes, bottles when digging over but then that just leaves soil surely so thats ok? Ill post some more photos shortly

But I thought grass was hardy, is there a underlying problem here why my grass isn't growing?

Apologies for photo being uploaded wrong way around.
