We are in the process of having FTTH installed using the Openreach gigabit voucher scheme. I believe an engineer will install a box outside (CSP box) and then run the cable inside to an ONT box which converts the signal to a LAN signal. Our ONT box will be positioned in a storage space in the...

Are the LEDs replaceable on the panels or do you replace the whole panel? If the whole panel is replaced it seems a lot more expensive option in the long term?

That is very helpful. The kitchen is pretty bright so I wouldn't mind a small drop in light, but sounds like the 4FT 22W might be too much of a drop. Perhaps the 5FT would be better - I just want to make sure the wiring is going to be as easy as the one @dannyboi2003 suggested

fluorescent lights Is this for aesthetics only or is there a practical reason for not using something like This

I am doing a similar job - replacing two old 6FT 58W fluorescent lights with LED battens. @dannyboi2003 I like your suggestion above as it seems the easiest swap out for a DIYer in terms of cable entry point and dealing with an earth cable. I was reading here that 22W is a replacement for the...

@dal5band I have the same issue and was looking for a solution. I have old 63mm pipe going underground into a drain. Have bought new guttering and downpipe which is 68mm. As you say the 68mm new pipe fits over top of 63mm but is slack. Is this what you mean by a 68mm m/f joining socket? You...

@Mr Chibs The bathroom is an ensuite of a bedroom that isn't used at the moment; the only thing used in the bathroom is the toilet. The ceiling ventilation in the bathroom is still there but is not connected to the tile vent so I guess hot air, although not steamy, could be entering the loft...

@Mr Chibs Loft hatch is the old fashioned lift out that has insulation taped on loft side I cant see any obvious ventilation in the roof apart from two tile vents that used to be used for bathroom ventilation, but the bathroom duct has been removed from the tile vent so should be letting some...

Just saw there is a forum specifically for lofts and wondering how I move this post into the other forum?

Earlier this year we had two new loft windows (see link below) installed to replace some very old rusty iron ones that smashed in high winds. I have now noticed condensation building upon on the inside of the glass and wonder what might be the cause and the best/easiest way to remedy this. Here...

Remove the shower head and let the hose hang down .Then run the shower and see if pump now starts. Ok I took the head of the hand held shower attachment and lowered it to ground and no difference. I will try and remove the mixer this evening and see if I can see the filters and NRV

should on previous post now - internet was slow

The supply pipes are behind the wall but poke out enough to attach the mixer shower barrel

Is the non return valve and filter in the mixer barrel ? Is it a matter of fixing or replacing the non return valve?

Yes that is correct

Ok, I will try this in the morning as my son has just used the shower so it will start fine now without having to run the tap first. It is when it has been left for a while that I notice the issue. Will report back Thanks

Sorry I am probably not explaining it very well and may have confused things. Here is hot water tank

Thanks for the replies, and apologies for the slow response (PC issues). The shower is on the ground floor and the hot water tank is in a cupboard on the floor above. The cold is mains fed and the hot is mains fed but goes through the pump (to increase water pressure I assume) which is on the...

Moved into a house which has weird shower issue. Shower is mains fed mixer with a pump. When I turn the shower on no water comes out, however if I turn the sink tap on for a few seconds and then turn it off the pump kicks in and the water comes on in the shower. any ideas whAt causes this and...

Certainly
