BathJ Thanks for the reply. I have also considered the vent you displayed. My main concern was with the way in which the fan worked. Aswell as taking air out of the toilet through the fan I wasn't sure whether it also needed the ability to allow air in for the purpose of ventillation...

Hi everyone, it's just a short question. I have a fan in the the downstairs toilet that goes through the ceiling cavity and out the through the wall. The builders have used an open vent, is it feasible to replace this with a louvre vent to stop cold drafts coming through all the time, or is it...

Could this be due to "wind burn" if this is the correct term. I have three and they all display the brown effects from the bottom of the stem upwards, only the tops remain green Z

mattylad Thanks for the response, I actually thought it there would have been an easier option in terms of a cable. As you mentioned it's not really worth the effort and cost, best to purchase a SATA drive (500gb @ £35.00 from amazon) and transfer the information Cheers Z

Obtained an HP Microtower DC5850 with a SATA hard drive, however I also have a spare SCSI (internal) hard drive that I would like to attach. The motherboard appears only to support SATA connections. Question is, has anyone seen or know of a cable that allows SATA on the motherboard and SCSI on...

Hi Guys Changing the utility room and need to hang new kitchen unit. The wall is plasterboard with a cavity and strapping. So my question is what's the best way to secure them to the wall. Should I run a strap and secure to this or place some ply behind the units and fix directly to this (bit...

As the title suggests, I need to remove this stuff from my house wall. While applying to my hut roof the father in-law kicked the tin and redecorated the wall. Basically it has hit the wall then dryed out over a period of several days. Does anyone know the best way to remove this from brick...

I hate new builds. Always the bare minimum with very little flexability at all. Well certainly in my case Z

BE. point taken regarding the prestressed joist. I will do no further drilling. BAS. Thank you for the standards, I will follow as directed. However not sure what else I should have done to allow the wires to access the next section of the ceiling without drilling the joist at this point...

Steve Thanks for the input. I will ensure that it's not buried under the boards and next to the insullation. I will ensure it's fully accesablile and monitor the tranny for cracks Cheers Z

RF Understand and agree regarding the fitting of 1 tranny per lights and accesability. I only need the 100 watts maximum and the 5 do well. I will use the pipe and drill small holes in the boards to allow ventillation etc. RF & GM, thanks for your time and help. I wanted to cover the...

RF I will get a hold of the pipe to suit, now that I have read the instructions stating that they have to have 100mm clearence. The original joists are not 110mm because it's crap new builds with the minimum requirements, so I have built on top of the existing joists to allow the void...

GM B&Q Recessed Low Voltage Halogen downlight Tilt MR11 Halogen 5 Pack. The wiring looms come with the lights as do the lampholder connectors. The instructions state that "this product has been marked with (a crossed out F) and is only suitable for installation on plasterboard and...

RFL What I mean is drainaige pipe, I was intending to cut to size and place over the lights. After reading further posts I now understand the principle behind the fire hoods, I think a common misunderstanding in my case. The instruction say "ensure a minimum ceiling void depth of...

I have recently installed ceilling spotlights into the spare room. Did a search regarding the insullation in the lot and covering the spotlight. Several options one being the fire covers (a bit costly) and another option is to use ground pipe and cut to size then spread the insulation around...
