We have a utility room on the side of our house which is built up to the boundary with next door. It is single brick construction. Concrete floor and a polycarb roof. This may seem a silly question but could we have a proper roof fitted? Wood frame. Tiled. Velux window as the only light is...

What is the white stuff on the felt? The loft hatch is a culprit as it doesnt sit properly. I was going to put some insulation on the top of it, then put a cut rubble bag over and tape it on. Then once I can make it fit use some draught protection stuff to kind of like make a seal. Either that...

I was in the process of feeding some cables up into my loft and I noticed white patches on the felt and water. I got told previously its condensation. Since then I have had roof tile vents installed However since then we have also had new radiators fitted so the house in general is a lot...

No its not. My guess was it would be fine on a 1.5 and a 6A RCBO but I honestly know nothing about home cctv so I thought I'd ask the question. Haha my spelling is ok and I am qualified. Just a total novice with cctv and what it uses and how it works!

Over the next week or so I'm rewiring my upstairs lighting. I'm a qualified electrician. The upstairs lighting is fed by 1.0mm t+e so I'm doing it in 1.5mm. I was also planning on throwing another 1.5 up for the burglar alarm. Currently the burglar alarm is fed off the upstairs lighting so itll...

Il upload some tomorrow. The mould growth is worst like on the joints of the waney laps. And its painted with ronseal fence life plus

No it gets sun. Well what of it their is this time of year and their are concrete plinths at the bottom so it's not touching the ground. Its just exposed to the weather like all outside fences. But this orange stuff has only started since we painted the fences. The fence could have been in 10...

After painting some old fence panels in the garden a few months ago. We've noticed a lot of orange mould now growing. It's been painted with Ronseal fence life plus. Does anyone know what will stop the mould or get rid of it. Il wipe it off over winter but in spring il need to do something to...

The test was carried out with boiler isolated but oven and fire still connected. The reading was 0.4 according to ideal. 0.36 when someone from my work tested it and 0.22 when the plumber who issued me with a certificate tested. No smell of gas now. The smell of gas was caused when ideal messed...

Thank you for all the advice by the way :)

So I definitely need my gas copper pipework from the meter to all appliances replacing? What's annoying me is the fact the leak was clearly caused by ideal on the boiler! So because of them I now have to have all my pipework replaced because their has never been any smell of gas apart from from...

The two tests I have witnessed. One was 0.36 and one was 0.22 with the oven and hob not isolated or the boiler. Would any of you professionals worry about this?

I'm not a plumber or a gas engineer. I'm an electrician who knows nothing about gas haha but I have since found out the plumber I use tested it at .22 of a drop on the tightness test which apparently your allowed a 0.5 drop using an electronic tester or something. But with the oven being on and...

So after there has been a leak from an appliance you arent allowed any drop at all? Plumbers at work and the one I use seem to think its acceptable

We could smell gas Wednesday. Thursday morning cadent confirmed gas leaking from around the boiler. Capped the gas off. Ideal had been monday and worked on the boiler so gas was leaking after that visit After cadent had capped us off ideal come and said it wasnt leaking from the boiler it's our...

What a last few days I have just had. On monday someone from ideal come to fix a fault with the boiler. Hot water going hot and cold several times before warming up. He changed the burners. Previous to this someone else had changed a gas valve from ideal. Anyway Wednesday I noticed a slight...

They haven't used it since I mentioned it! They're always awkward with parking. Have four cars and they park tight up either side of my drive to make it awkward so I've left car on road. Depending on how awkward it gets I'm considering buying a banger for eldest daughter and as a run around and...

Well i spoke to them this evening. We dont get on so i had nothing to lose. Originally the bloke acted dumb. But i said its pretty obvious when you look. Then he said peoples lights over the road shine in his. A light that is between 30 and 40 metres away as a back street and long garden...

I was already thinking that. Especially for the landing window. If it's on late tonight I'm gonna ask them to turn it off as kids cant get to sleep. Il also drop in do you realise its illegal to have light shining directly into a neighbouring property. I can feel myself getting annoyed now!

Their was an old 2D light fitting there before. Obviously older lights werent as bright or intense unless a high wattage. Leds are incredibly bright at low wattage. Hes took the old light down and installed a new led one which I agree is totally not suitable. As you said outside lights should...
