Might come to that, trouble is the only good firm I would recommend just told my neighbour they can't call to quote for 3 months! Chances are they will want scaffolding too!

Yes JohnD, the plan is to put the ceiling vent over the shower end of the bath, run 4" flex to the unit and and duct down between ceiling and roof into the gutter and soffit hence the need to use flat duct, or failing that run the duct in the bathroom with an enclosure, but that's gonna look pants!

Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. To try and cover them all. The loft is insulated, the walls are cavity no insulation other than thermal paper. The rad is pretty big see photo. There is a finger sized gap under the door, which is left open after showering with the fan running for...

I am looking at replacing my bathroom extraction fan, because of the roof line the existing one goes out of the side wall only 120cm from the floor, even left on for an hour it still does not stop condensation. Short of going directly up through the roof which I don't want to do, as it will...

Looks like an earthing wire for the gas meter contact a sparks there must be a better way to do it, mine just runs through the wall and under the floor like most!

I would go with the pressure wash if you intend to retreat the fence anyway. Leave it till summer so it can dry thoroughly before treatment.

If it is clipped rather than the old glued sort it can be repaired. I had a similar problem with a property I used to rent, the tenant got a dog and a cat despite a no pets agreement and either pee or water bowl spillage did the same to the brand new laminate in the lounge! Luckily I had bought...

Looks like water damage to me, doubt the contractor will fix it for free.:unsure:

Have you lost a couple of hamsters? It will be on gripper strip most likely, use a thin screwdriver or bradawl push it through the carpet about 1 inch from the edge, starting at a corner makes it easier. using the tool pull up the carpet pushing a bit towards the wall as you lift to help unhook...

If you are replacing the heads and the working part (tap reviver set) just grip the head with grips and turn the whole thing off complete.

Or you could just drill a hole in the cap to access the screw.

Try wrapping in kitchen towel and soaking with kitchen descaler or vinegar leave overnight.

Never worked with F&B but heard lots of pro's saying it is horrible to work with and touch ups show. I would bite the bullet and get a tin to paint a complete wall. (y)
