thanks, how does the internet signal get to this bunch of cables? from what I can see the cable with the signal goes straight to the router

just going off at a tangent here but are powerline adapters any good?

thanks. how does the internet signal get to the ethernet socket?

we've used wi-fi internet in our house for many years. When the house was rewired we had ethernet sockets installed in some of the rooms. How do I find out where these sockets are connected to? should the connection be before or after the router?

good suggestion and thanks. I could also leave tissue once it had dried out to make sure it's not an intermittent fault.

are moisture testers accurate enough to show small changes in dampness?

not a pipe, some silicon sealing and tile grouting. water from the shower is/was finding a way to the ground floor ceiling.

we've hopefully repaired some leaks from an upstairs bathroom that was making a ground floor ceiling wet. It takes for ever for ceilings to dry out where I come from. Is there a way of assessing quickly whether the repairs have been successful.

I suppose it is a combination of wet clothes, showering cooking etc. If I have got vents in the door, is there any point in putting in an air brick?

the condensation comes from central heating where the moisture gathers on the ground floor. I can't remember any problems before I fitted a uPVC door.

sorry, this is in an area where there is no black mould just condensation.

Hello everybody, As advised, to increase the ventilation, we decided to put in air vents into the front door but it has not made any difference. We have a 4 in a block flat with our flat on the upper 1st floor. As you come in the front door you have the stairs in front of you. It is the walls...

Good morning, thank you to everybody for advice and we decided to take people's advice. below is what we found. do we need both a screed to level off and then an adhesive? Any recommendations for materials? will screed on its own be ok on the side of the steps as we are not going to tile that...

good point, but we decided it would be easier to tile over.

we are just about to start tiling over existing tiling outside. what is the best adhesive to use? any other advice? and

doors have been done. there was no ragging at the cut edge. suppose you would use sandpaper if there was.

thank you very much for all your suggestions and particularly to Robin Banks for his fine artwork. There were a couple of recommendations for an evolution circular saw and we went and bought new. we were paying someone to trim the doors and I did not want to give him a saw that does not work and...

thank you. we are taking off 30mm, so should be ok. any thoughts on best circular saw to buy? It's to cut the bottom of 5 doors and and then not used again.

Maximum cutting capacity (90° bevel) 64mm what does cutting capacity 90 degree bevel mean? or to put it another way, what depth should this saw cut if you are simply trimming the bottom the door? thanks.

it's the window attachment I was asking about. I wondered if it was a type of shield to protect the window against rain.
