    Bathroom - additional heating question

    Thank you. I'll try and get an image. I'll check with my electrician but the area under the sink cabinet is definitely more than 0.6m from the enclosed shower or the bath. I guess another question is, if they sell IP22 rated cassette style electric heaters which have a fan pointing down...

    Bathroom - additional heating question

    Thanks, so why can't I find an electric plinth heater or other type of heater than could sit at a low level that's suitable for a bathroom?

    Bathroom - additional heating question

    of course you're totally right. what i meant to say was, i can get an electrician to fit a suitable power source (it's far from the shower and bath but not the sink) without too much disruption (as opposed to say, connecting to the central heating system)

    Bathroom - additional heating question

    Hi, I need an additional heat source in a small bathroom. It has a decent sized towel rail heater, but this is mostly covered by towels. UFH is not an option. I just need somethign to warm it up and take the chill off during winter mornings and evenings. Something I can connect to a smart...

    Dust control equipment hire - house renovation

    Thanks. I'll have a look. I've never used one, just thought the stuff for domestic use more for show and you couldn't get the benefit without some sort of industrial / commercial quality expense.

    Dust control equipment hire - house renovation

    Thanks, that's a really good idea. Someone else recommended them but I thought they were a bit of a con. Any you recommend ? Do you just get one on Amazon or does it have to be a HEPA air filter?

    Dust control equipment hire - house renovation

    So is this just a square / box fan? Would that be better than a ducted fan?

    Dust control equipment hire - house renovation

    You're right, that's why I'm asking for input here so I can have the conversation now before they begin. If it's reasonable for me to ask and for me to pay the cost (if not already included in their quote) then that's fine and that's what I've learnt. If it's standard for them to include all...

    Dust control equipment hire - house renovation

    It's at one end of the house and they'll build a frame with a door to partition that section off, seal the gaps. but inevitably yes, the door will open for breaks and access. How else can it be done?

    Dust control equipment hire - house renovation

    I have about the dust being vented out. but i suspect when it comes to it, it won't be followed precisely and doors will open spreading **** all over the place. haven't asked about cutting / sanding outside yet. Do you think i'm asking something unreasonable?

    Dust control equipment hire - house renovation

    Thank you, my ceiling is the same. I'm worried about the mess. I have been looking at the ducted fans - I was thinking of a 12" 3600m3/hr. which seems pretty powerful. what did you use? i don't mind paying for that if it will help. If i duct this out the window, do i need to seal up the...

    Dust control equipment hire - house renovation

    I'm about to have a ceiling removed in an old victorian house, as well as other refurb work done (new bathrooms), lots of tiling, general decoration, ceiling repairs etc. etc. 3 months worth and I'll be living in the property but I'm very sensitive to dust - eye and lung issues. The...

    Waste disposal unit / quooker tap problem

    I’ve been waiting to reply to this - I recently had the whole set up taken apart. It may not be the same problem as yours. 6 years worth of accumulated food watse had blocked the waste pipe so any new waste was being forced back up the nearest outlet (in this case the quooker). Now it’s...

    shower drainage - intermittent problem

    Hi, I have a drainage problem in the shower which I'd really appreciate some help with. The drainage during a shower is so slow that the water will come up to the top of the tray (3-4 inches). It will then drain away after 5-10 seconds when the shower is turned off. The weird thing is, I...

    shower trap / slow drain

    Every 6 months or so my shower begins to drain slowly. Now and again a standard chemical will keep it flowing but this time the chemicals haven’t really helped and may actually have made it worse. I would prefer to us a drain snake / rod spring type thing. What I don’t’ understand is how...

    sash window leak

    Thanks Gazman, i don't think it's the sealant - they used CT1 frame sealant both inside and outside and in the box itself. I was just trying to see if there was some underlying fault that anyone might be aware of. i can attach photos but not sure they'll help much - it just looks like a...

    sash window leak

    Hi All, Looking for some help on a problem I’ve been struggling with for about 5 years. 2011 I had new double glazed timber sash windows fitted to replace old draughty single glazed sash. I had the whole box replaced and masonry, architraving made good etc. The work seemed to be good. I...
