If it's gas I obviously won't be touching it.

In our spare bedroom there was a cupboard which had what I presume was a water heater. There's a circular water mark on the shelf where I presume it was sat and leaking. In the attic there is a water tank which must have fed into it. All this has been replaced with a gas boiler in the kitchen...

The original owners had black mould in the bedroom and I've only just resolved it so I absolutely don't want it again. Would trickle vents not just be the perfect solution or do they not transfer enough air?

It'll all be down to exhalation whilst sleeping, although there is no ventilation other than a window in the bathroom which won't help things too. I had only thought a trickle vent would be superior to opening the window as I can leave it open whilst out of the house to reduce humidity. With...

Noticed today that I had wet beading at the bottom of the window in the bedroom. Presumably condensation that's dripped down. I have tilt turn windows and was thinking of retro fitting a trickle vent. Is it worth it? Any recommendations on ones to use?

Do you want me to roll back the insulation above the wall I'm wanting to remove? And I've just read the wiki on the condensation in lofts. I'll try rectify that! Thanks for your help by the way.

Thanks mate. It's a plastic tank in the loft which is already empty. It's just too big to come down through the hatch! Might cut it up and bring it down if I feel like it. I need to get rid then! Looking in the loft I have these rafter supports coming into the joists. Does this positioning...

I need to go up to get the Christmas decorations so that was my plan tonight. I'd be surprised as it's not full length of the room. It's actually in the small bedroom that's behind the stairs. I believe it's had an old immersion heater or similar in there? One of those copper pipes has been...

Just look at the state of it. I'll be making it an office with a desk that sweeps over the bulkhead frame.

We have a cupboard in the small bedroom above the bulkhead of the stairs. I want to remove this as it's clearly been where an old boiler has been and the entire cupboard is grotty. I presume this is not load bearing and I'm free to continue ripping it out?

Use a method called sistering the joists

There's no point worrying now it's been ripped out. You can't exactly undo the damage, and the risks are very low anyway.

I missed this. Surely this suggests it's not a switched live?

How are you resetting the system?

Like this - https://www.wickes.co.uk/John-Guest-Speedfit-JG-ROP-Radiator-Outlet-Plate---10mm/p/117393 Plan was to make connection under the floor upstairs, feed cables down the stud wall and out through a outlet plate.

Because I want to use plastic pipe and the soldered copper joint has leaked.

Hi all, I have some exposed 15mm copper pipework running from the ceiling down the porch wall to a radiator on the other side. This has a soldered 90degree join which is leaking. I'm planning on removing this copper pipe and burying some 15mm hep2o within the stud wall and then bringing it...

I'll be packing it out with celotex within the DPM.
