    Led downlighters in bathroom 1 bulb keeps failing

    I would love to give your regards to 007 but he pre deceased me a few years ago. I have spoken to a very nice man at my local council Building Regulations. I don't need fire rated downlights or fire hoods in a pitched roof space with no fire rated plaster board, and LED lights run cool...

    Led downlighters in bathroom 1 bulb keeps failing

    Thanks a lot, You have confirmed my suspicions the lights are not bathroom fittings and moisture is shorting it out. The guy who fitted them is Part P registered and been doing this for years, I have used him before and got the correct paper work I am surprised at this. But he clearly...

    Thanks Stem, so you don't think it is the moisture; it is quite close to a very steamy shower.

    Private Parking Invoice £100

    Reading other forums it seems it is possible for a store to get the charge cancelled if you have made purchases . I think this is what they mean 'with authorisation' The Protection of Freedom Act as I see it just means the law requires you to provide name and address of driver and doesn't...

    Private Parking Invoice £100

    I have contacted the store and was told that the council had issued the charge, they clearly had not, it is from Parking Eye, a car park management company based in Leeds nowhere near Derbyshire. 'Well', says she 'The council are behind it because they do not want people parking for free and not...

    Noisy mira platinum digital shower

    When they changed my valve the first time I switched it on it pulsated and made a noise for a couple of secs and my heart sank but it hasn't done it since. I wonder if they unknowingly cleared an air lock when they changed the valve in which case I have a perfectly good one in my cupboard they...

    Noisy mira platinum digital shower

    11 seems ok, I have a flow problem and my flow has to be set on max in the controller as I said, but at the moment the ambient temp in my loft is obviously not good and my boiler only has a 30 degree rise so my shower this morning took ages to warm up even though the pipes are well insulated...

    Noisy mira platinum digital shower

    Pavo If the shower is under guarantee and the valve is faulty then mira will come out within a couple of days and replace it free. Not really sure what was causing the noise and vibration mira thought it could be an air trap but changing the mixer valve fixed it, give them a ring on 0844 571...

    Gradual decrease on shower pressure and temp

    Does anyone have any idea why my shower which starts up great and slowly loses pressure and temp, switching the shower on and off solves the problem then follows the same pattern. Stays on long enough to get a quick shower. Tried it with shower head on or off, boiler on or off, makes no...

    Mixer Shower - Mira Platinum

    Julie G I know your post is an old one, but I am having the same problem as you with a mira platinum fitted in December 2012. I have a new boiler which works fine but the shower is rubbish no better than my old 7kw electric. Will not maintain starting temp or pressure. Mira engineer came...

    Noisy mira platinum digital shower

    Mira engineer called for the above problem, seemed stumped, called his 'tec guys' who suggested changing the mixer valve, 1. it might solve the problem 2. it means because the valve has been changed, the shower is very new, and they cannot offer a diagnosis for the problem the customer will not...

    Venting through fascia

    The plumber recommended a redland vent tile. Either way the run is very short because the shower is on an external wall the extractor/fan is only about 2ft max from the wall, and because it is a hip roof just under the slope of the roof and very close to soffit. Thanks

    Venting through fascia

    This is an old thread I know but just searched for soffit v roof tile. The plumber said the soffit from my first floor bathroom was to low to allow venting of my ceiling light/extractor and would have to go through the roof via vent tile. The electrician however says there is plenty of...
