Well with the recent winds it was a good test for the re work. fairly impressed the 4 windows with the issues there is no noise - hurrah - slight problem being that we now have a noise in our bedroom - booooo So I plan to remove the wedges they fitted and see what happens. The noise...

Yes it is

thanks

I have a single switch turning on a single light (the lights only permits up to 60w). I have brought a single dimmer (from wickes) and left the earth where it was and put the red which was in l1 into l1 on the dimmer and the other red into the squiqqle. The light does not turn on. Any ideas?

thanks all. so find someone who will cut the plaster back and cap in the wall. the floors are concrete so I guess the pipe either runs in the concrete floor or along the wall. in relation to the air vent in the chimney, currently I have filled the chimney with insulation and boarded over...

the original fire was a gas one. sounds like i can block the wall air vent, but need to stick one in the chimney to keep it dry. thanks. how much would you charge to come and cap the pipe?

Last year we had our gas fire removed (buy a corgi register gas fitter). About 6 foot to the left of the fire was an air vent. I have since block up the fire place and am contemplating blocking the air vent as I understand this is only there because of the original fire. Is this correct...

Agree, they have re done all the sealant now, so if it goes again thats exactly what I will be doing along with removing the internal window trim and plasterering up to the frame (as they left gaps to cover the old silicone that was still stuck to the wall). Would anyone suggest using the...

The fitters have come back, they are here now, but he is pretty clueless. He is re doing all the sealant and I checked it is the low modulus stuff. In relation to the wind he is re fitting some different blocks, has checked the glass and has re sealed all the gaps. He can't think of...

Hi I have complained to FENSA twice. Once due to the gaps between the window and brick and subsequent cold air (I thought it breached the regulation in relation to heat loss). They were only interested if I could see daylight!! Second time was when I realised the fitter should have...

ok, washing machine did have a trap, so took the last advice and unscrewed all the pipes and gave them a clean..................... found a rather large stone in the sink trap?!?!? Amazinly there wasn't a great deal of gunk but it did smell a bit so will see now if a simple clean and moving...

ok thanks, i will check the trap on the wm side in the morning. The smell is definately coming up through the sink and from what I can work out the w/m waste is protected as its below the sink waste so the water in the sink waste will stop the smell from the wm or have i got that wrong?. I...

The trickle vents were on the old windows. FENSA told me they were writing to him about 'other' issues also as he didn't bother ringing them again after he said he was going to 'check his records'. I seriously think I would deck him if I saw him again its made me that mad. This...
