Today I replaced a dead electronic transformer rated at 105vA 240v primary 12v secondary with one of identical specification except the secondary was 11.5v which seems more standard nowadays. This transformer is for three sets of small halogens & I have noticed a big difference in brightness...

Hi There Many thanks for the reply and information. I was just wondering why this seems to only be an issue in this one room? Even my bathroom does not suffer? Thanks Graham

Dear All I have lived in my home for approx 5 years now & mould on the master bedroom ceilnig has slowly increased. I am trying to work out the cause & as such attach a picture of the setup & describe below. My home has low evaes meaning that the ceilings upstairs are all curved where they...

Perfect thanks Muggles you were spot on; worked a treat.

Thanks muggles/Andrew. Have you got a picture or a web link as an example because I cannot see or feel anything, just the smooth upper section & threaded lower section. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I have already adjusted that as far as it will go but I need a more major adjustment which is normally the stem of the inlet pipe itself, but as I say not sure how to adjust this type.

Here you go as requested Thanks

PS the main roof of my house is not even felted just tiles; what would you use on the fascias in this case?

Thanks for the good replies guys. Silly question but how does water get under there anyways when the roof tiles themselves are above? Regards

I have now managed to lift one tile on the edge of the fascia & take a picture. I have marked with a text box where the fascia is, where the gutter is & where the water pools during rain. Let me know if this seems ok?

I will try and get a picture this week. Basically to describe in easier terms - if I lift the first row of tiles, sitting just behind the fascia is a trough/gulley formed of the new eve protector material (like felt) & this is pooling water.

Thanks for your replies. Eve protectors have been added but it is this that looks like it is not been stretched out & nailed in position flat enough & as such is ponding the water instead of letting it flow; if that makes sense.

I recently had my guttering, soffits & fascias replaced however I have noticed a potential problem on a small section of tiled roof. The piece of roof I refer to is tiled with felt underneath; when the fascia was replaced it looks like the builders put a small stripe of new felt (plastic...
