    Advice on a very dodgy double glazing fit

    I have now threatened legal action (not that I expect him to do anything) and discovered that the fit didn't cover buidling regs as he didn't fit tickle vents. Fensa are just about to suspend his registration. Happy days. Anyone have any experience of going through the small claims court?

    which downlights - energy saving or low voltage?

    THANKS for the replies. I would hope its not a loose connection as all that gets checked I assume when they do the testing prior to the part p cert? Also surely a qualified sparky would get it right from the insulation perspective. I have obviously had a blonde moment as I have just...

    I currently have mains run downlights in my lounge and kitchen. The kitchen ones were fitted about 12 months ago, but despite the assurances a bulbs seems to blow at least every couple of weeks.

    smelly drains in house

    yeah your drains will definately join other houses. Our drain is joined by 2 others and then runs to another house at the back and then onto the main drain in the road, odd as the main drain on our road is 30 ft from the house but up a slight hill. When we had our block it was nothing to do...
