    Bathroom extractor fan in celing as opposed to wall

    The arrangement for an in-line fan system consists of a grille in the bathroom, an in-line fan in the loft space and a grille in the soffit, with a length of ducting connected from the bathroom grille to the fan and another length of ducting connected from the fan to the soffit grille. A fan...

    Garage door

    My preference is for a roller shutter door, as it gives more headroom inside the garage. With the roller door open, the only area with limited headroom is below the rolled door, just inside the doorway. In addition, the headroom in the doorway can be higher than a sectional door, as the...

    Removal of floor staples

    If the staples are flat to the floor, you could try a tack lifter (like a screwdriver with a split end). If the staples are proud of the floor, then pincers or pliers should lift them.

    new shed: pressure treated or not?

    You may be confusing pressure treatment and application of preservatives. Pressure treatment usually refers to application of chemicals to prevent attack by wood-boring insects. Preservative application (e.g. Cuprinol) is intended to provide protection against weather effects. For a shed, my...

    Resetting laptop

    Assuming that you are running up-to-date anti-virus and firewall, I would suggest you download and run ccleaner, from piriform. This may be enough. If you need to recover the original state, you will need a recovery disc (specific to your machine type), or there may be hidden recovery...

    output condensing fluid from boiler running onto Asbestos?

    I assume you mean the condensate outlet pipe. (There may also be another pipe connected to the pressure relief valve) I suggest you talk to your installer, as I would expect he will tell you that the manufacturer's installation instructions will specify that the condensate has to be routed in...

    Fence problem

    Assuming the existing panels are something like larchlap, or equivalent, you could consider ranch panels, which tend to be a bit stiffer. Another thought would be to use a 4ft panel with a 1ft trellis on top, which would reduce the wind loading - assuming you are happy with the potential loss of...

    Recommend shop to buy Texecom alarm or similar

    I have had good service from Alert Electrical. They carry a good range of Texecom bits. A good start may be a VR8 kit, 5 additional PIRs and a communicator, all Texecom, coming in at less than £300 if using standard PIRs. You may want to use quad IR or dual-tech sensors. You may also want to...

    Tracks for sliding wardrobe doors

    I think Stanley do a track at 3607, which should do five doors. Probably need to scribe a panel to each side wall to cater for out of true walls anyway. I assume you allowed for the door overlap when choosing door sizes? The nearest Stanley door size to your 726 width is 762 (30") and the...
