Hi we had a new fence post put into a metal spike concreted into the ground after the old post rotted and broke off in high winds. The post however is not level and moves in the spike as it's narrower than the spike. My question is asides from the bolt on one side (neighbours side) what can be...

I've looked above - it goes through the loft space and out to a vent in the roof. The length of ducting is fairly short but was a bit compressed with loads of insulation. However inside the fan itself was filthy and filled with dust. Fair comment but I'm going to go for replacing it in the same...

Yeh it opens

Hi I never really thought of that. It's in the middle of the room (not over the bath) about 3/4 of the way from the door to the window so it's quite close to the window. The old one is very yellowed and I guess when it's on you should be able to feel it taking some air out when running but this...

Hi thanks for the reply. By my calculations 15-20 x 9.7 = 145-194m3/hour for a shower. I was hoping to keep to a 100mm fan because I'm guessing a 150mm one would need a wider hole in the ceiling and therefore a wider duct? It also needs to have a pullcord.

Hi I have what really is a small bathroom with a volume of 9.7 m3. It's got a bath and shower on a mixer tap. At the moment the amount of condensation is quite bad when we use the shower even with the 'airlow' extractor fan on. This doesn't have any info on it about how much it removes per hour...

I've unscrewed the top set of three 'prongs' and pulled them out and they all looked connected and ok, the bottom bit with the flat connectors is a different matter as I can't see under it and it doesn't seem to want to budge (can't unscrew it to gain access)

Hi now it is that time of year again and the wife really needs the rear window heater to work especially to clear the condensation inside the car for reversing off the drive. I tried what was recommended last year i.e. cleaning up the surfaces of the three pegs and corresponding plates in the...

OK I don't know what the rating of the circuit is but it's on the upstairs light circuit if that's of any help. Likewise with the fan, no idea what the fan output requires!

OK I wonder if MK do one that would do the same thing?

Hi thanks for the quick reply! There is no fuse in the existing switch :|

Just an update - had a gas safe bloke in a while back and he did two smoke tests on the flue and they were fine, he took the coals off and hoovered it out then rearranged them as they should be arranged. He said there was no cause for concern and the fireplace looked in good condition. The...

Hi I've got to replace a damaged switch in the hall for the extractor fan in the bathroom on the other side of the wall. The one that's on there at the moment has 2 lives and 2 neutral cables coming into it and 1 of each going out again, plus a couple of earths. Picked up...

We have a combi boiler on the wall in the kitchen, it was serviced in January and no black marks on wall. It definitely seemed to be worse around the fireplace and around the ventilation hole in the wall like it was flowing that way. Will no way use it!

Hi - we've moved into our first house that has a gas fire in the front room. We noticed that all the walls in that room, as well as the doors, windows and everything else had soot marks all over them, there were big squares where the previous occupants had had pictures on the wall. These...

Hi I have a telephone extension point in the spare bedroom. I decorated the walls and lifted it off and I think by doing this one of the wires disconnected inside. Now only terminal 2 (red wire) and terminal 5 (brown wire) are connected. Am I right in thinking that 3 should also be connected...
