It would seem that the air intake through your stack is the cause if I understand the following is true..? You get traps/u-bends in the house being sucked/gurgling. It smells in the same place, at the same time. I.e., In the moment this happens, due to your stack not supplying the system with...

Quickie: Looking at the before and after pics; does this look like the interceptor has been removed leaving a straight run through? ....If it was straight run through, would there be constant standing water? On flushing and observing, you see a 'replacement' cycle happening where only some gets...

This! Just bought a new capacitor and installed it. I have done the same on a juicer before but wasn't convinced it was the capacitor as it behaved differently to the juicers failure mode. Juicer stopped entirely. Bread maker would growl and stop mixing, sounding like it was straining. The...

Thanks. Am looking up PoE....

A brief search of offerings online at likes of Amazon or Screwfix make me think my desired spec is missing something obvious as I can't find an obvious purchase. I would like: -Outdoor cameras, mains powered- I can route power cables to them easily. -Sending data over wi-fi - To a central...

My 2 p....Yes. Concerned enough for due diligence to be done. Get it properly assessed. You may find neighbours in nearby houses have similar failure modes playing out. Not a time for fingers crossed approach. Imo .

It is still working just fine.Btw.

Thanks. Had a feeling it might be a 'no no'. Is there a board or system of boarding that I moderately skilled diyer could install with some kind of substrate/bonding? Obviously the joins would not overlay the slab joins, but would they not then become the site of cracks?

We have a utility area. Concrete slab poured in 4 sections. Two small rooms (larder and WC) with boundary at threshold onto the hallway section which itself is 2 strips about 2 m X 0.6 m. Given shonky build of the whole thing I strongly suspect there's no dpc nor bar in the slabs. Was about to...

Which one are you thinking of? Trades have a tendency to use generic terms for sealants.

Lapsed HETAS. The fire cement doesn't like the kind of movement your description creates as far as I am imagining it. However absent the flue being blocked, the Co doesn't 'try' nor usually succeed to get out of tiny little gaps. Like electricity in a weird way it has a preferred route, the...

None of that is useful. Well done. There is a while thread on this of mine from years ago, about the mysteries of my wife and the 3 pole isolator. Fill your boots. I only wanted to know about the markings. 333rocky333. Wins.

Thanks. Your answer......is an answer! I will have another look at it. I have nevertheless bought a new one which not only is marked but also has a key to lock off the switch.

Sparky fitted one above bathroom doorway. Wife couldn't reach so replaced it with pull cord version. Now wanting to reuse the old switch for same job on another WC fan. But noticed it has no markings at all on the outer face. Not a red patch, or on/ off. Why is that?

I have a small WC and larder as part of a shonky lean-to inherited extension. In larder is washing machine. Not ideal I know...larder is a bit moist! Both doors are ledge and brace with big gaps at bottom. With kitchen door and back door shut you can think of the WC and larder as sealed off, but...

Very much want one. Want to have a go. And don't, at the same time.

Or... Google "builders opening", and see myriad before and afters. Providing (and I've never met it) the original lintel is not gone you should be fine with whatever is placed below that, support wise. Sides- you are looking for intact whole brick vertical joints- people hardly ever tie in the...

Crack on.

I recommend an Air Arms Tx200hc in .177 sub12ft/lb. Or An HW97K synthetic stock. Owned both. I like to keep it simple. Gas bottles, pumps, compressors, not for me.. Dome pellets are reliable. It takes a lot of time to pest control rats with an air gun. Unless you enjoy it, it might get a bit...

There's also the possibility that your frequent false activity is cats. Hot, fast and all night!
