The bathroom extracting directly into the loft is a major cause. Your bathroom extract needs to go outside. The setup you have you can get a roof tile vent fitted and then duct the fan to the vent. I had roof tile vents fitted and it has stopped condensation in mine. Ours is a 1930s house with...

Our utility room has a polycarbonate roof on it. It's a small extension on the side of the house built up to the boundary. So the brick acts as the fence/boundary Single skin brick, foam backed plasterboard and polycarbonate roof structure. It was already built when we moved in. I've noticed in...

This thread is ages old and I haven't been on. My bad. We've had all windows and doors done on the house now. Carpets a job for another time. And it's a major job. It's open plan so the whole kitchen and dining room. With very large cabinets and two large fish tanks. When we get the carpet done...

We had new french doors fitted 18 months ago and after removing the old tilt and slide door the carpet was short on one side. Due to the very cold temperatures I've noticed mould forming on the wall in the corner where this gap is. If I hold my hand over the gap I can feel a draught coming from...

I forgot to say all trvs are fully open and set to max. Here is a pic of the house layout

That is some great detail ericmark. Thank you All the rads have trvs except the bathroom and kitchen and utility room. They are lockshield. Il do a drawing of the downstairs as to where the stat is and doors and openings. I've moved the thermostat into the hall today to monitor what the temp is...

I've had the thermostat set up in my living room for the last 2 years. Having just bought a compressor dehumidifier which is more efficient at certain temperatures I'm curious as to temperatures in the hall and rest of the house. Now to imagine the layout of the house. A small unheated single...

I already have lap vents fitted. I have roof tile vents fitted and cut through the felt. But the problem side is the what would be the gable side but it's a three sided pitch roof. The front and back are always bone dry as I'm guessing the roof vents do their job with cross flow. But the side...

No the only hole will be the gap around the loft hatch which is why I plan on insulating it over the top to help. The bathroom has no fan. We open the window when having a shower or bath. But when we get the bathroom done it will have an extract fan in. I will hoover the cavity wall insulation...

Its that time of year again when the condensation starts again. The roof on our house is a 3 sided pitch roof. Think it's a hip roof. Apologies if thats totally wrong. The house was built in the 1930s and its the original roof. Very old felt. Since we moved in I had roof vents put in. Four on...

Our rabbit hutch had seen better days so I've replaced the floors and back with 12mm shuttering ply. Put new legs on and a new roof and felt. Well the roof and felt will be done tomorrow. The existing roof is still on. However the area where the rabbit goes to the toilet the plywood top layer is...

The conundrum is do I scrape it all off or only scrape what I have to off and try and put something back down so their isnt a dip in the floor

The original cables go straight up the wall above the consumer unit into upstairs front bedroom which has fitted wardrobes on that wall so it's now inaccessible

It is soft. Like a mixture between wood and cardboard

Burglar alarm cables. Not my handy work. Rough as but extra low voltage engineers get away with it

I plan on adding new cables in when doing my bathroom and a bedroom. New shower circuit and adapting a ring main. I need to get under the floor on the landing and I've come across something I dont have a clue what it is. It's on top of the landing floorboards. In another section it's broken away...

No as the bit where I'm stood under the stairs is a cupboard in the kitchen. I could drill through and get into the void under that step just about from under the stairs. Well I dont know 100% but only one way to find out

I may have worked out an easier option. Run all the cables under the floor downstairs to under the actual stairs. We have a cupboard that goes under. Inside under the stairs run a surface pvc trunking up. Drill through at the top and come out onto the step where I am stood. Then run behind the...

It's on a 16A RCBO so using 2.5 saves me changing that haha

I plan on capping them so I still wont fit all them up that section of wall
