Outside....

Under doors, through micro holes in the fabric, cracks in the loft hatch, also considering retro installing a trickle vent in the double glazing of 1 or 2 windows.

Is it not worth paying extra for a waste with brass body? It would be terribly inconvenient to refit waste once bath is in position if it fails. Is Ultra a good brand?

Hi Wundaboy Thanks for your experience I have seen those advertised. They work on fresh air continuosly being forced into the building via a duct and then stale air being forced out through gaps in the fabric of building. Wheras an background extractor sucks air out of the building through a...

I ordered a new bath waste with a plug and chain and it has come and looks really cheap. Please can I have recommendations for a bath waste/overflow for standard acrylic bath with a plug and chain. For preference I would like a retainer waste where the plug stows in the overflow hole when not...

EFL: To be fair to the tenants, the building is more prone to condensation because of lack of roof ventilation and cold walls. We do need better tenants though next time. Currently empty. Thanks Dart: There is certainly no penetrating damp from outside. By having better extraction it will...

My comment was to Iggifer

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for looking at it. It seems very vague about the concept of duct work; can't see any info about max duct length. TBH I've got a head ache just looking through all that writing. Needles in haystacks to me. If you think I can use it with my duct then great.

The installation booklet does not have any fitting instructions or recommendations regarding ducting; it just shows it on an outside wall.

I will be refurbing an internal bathroom. Currently there is an axial low voltage fan on wall in zone 1 in corner of bath/shower area with about 9 ft of ducting to outside. The flat has many outside walls and condensation / mould growth has been a problem in lounge and bedrooms. The easiest...

Please post a photo of before and after Cheers

Thanks for the tips folks

The lounge ceiling looks like there is a vaguely textured paper and probably hasn't been painted for 30 years; its white, if a little grey with age, with no horrid spots There is coving around the edge which looks more in need of refreshment that the ceiling I don't want to stress the paper...

Panic over . I just saw it myself and it's plaster.:LOL:

My dd has just moved into 1960's chalet style house and from what they describe the walls are not plasterboard. Sounds like could be fibreboard. The whole place is wallpapered badly and they have started to strip it off the easy vinyl top layer of paper leaning the paper still stuck to the...
