The length from the end of that joist that isn’t full size to the end of the piece of wood I’m attaching to it vertically is 3.27 inches what screw & which size should I use?

Ok but how should I fix the timber to that piece as it is a little higher than the joist on the other side as there is a fan that will be attaching to the CLS so need it to be a strong fit in there?

So I’ve cut the ceiling & I’ve got one joist on one side & there’s another on the other side but as you can see there is this piece in front of the other joist that is a little higher that is very solid in there. What would be best to do?

I will be skew screwing sorry do you mean 70 or 80mm for the screw size? Also think you may have already answered this at the end but want to be sure can I drill the screw into the timber at an angle or does it have to be through the joist at an angle?

Ok so the link below I assume would be fine for the timber? Also which screws would be best to use...

Ok so is there a specific timber I need then or is it just any 2x4? Also am I just attaching it to the joist with screws in at an angle if so what screws would be best?

I only need a small piece of timber just to attach the fan bracket to, would it be possible to cut a small piece of timber & attach it to just the one joist that is close?

There is one joist close but the other joist is too far away & would involve cutting too much of an area of the ceiling away.

I need to install a ceiling fan that weighs about 4kg but the ceiling is just plasterboard & there is no way to fit to a joist as it’s too far away. There was a fan installed here before & it seems it may have been screwed into these plasterboard self drill fixings as you can see in the pic...

I haven’t tried to spin it by hand yet, would taking those nuts off help in getting to the blades to try?

Ok is it easy enough to strip apart & clean, would I have to actually remove the motor to do it? Also to answer your question do you the mean the metal mesh filters if so then yes I am using them.

This Candy CCE16/2X kitchen extractor hood fan is not working, the lights are still working but the fan itself is not. I know there’s a fair bit of grease on there as you can see but will that be the cause & are there any other things I can check myself to find out why?

I think I've got all the X400 out it's more the fact of how clear I have to get it as some say it's ok with the little colour to it others that it needs to be completely clear water draining out?

I am currently draining down & refilling my combi boiler system after adding sentinel x400. I've done it about 5 times now & the water is not dirty but just a sort of yellow colour. How many times do I have to keep doing this as it is taking quite a while draining down each time?

What plugs should I use for when I put the bracket on? I believe it is just plasterboard behind the tiles.

These are the best pictures I could get, the hole is too small to see anything with a light shined so couldn’t see much. The pipes do bend left & right a little and as you can see from the side they go downwards if any of those play a factor in determining which way they go?

I’m installing a new shower bar mixer using a bar valve fixing kit which means I have to drill into the tile each side of the pipes to install the bracket. I don’t want to hit a pipe when I do drill it, any ideas?
