Valid point, just trying to find a vent which I can cut in relatively easily, don't fancy having a jigsaw up there, any suggestions? Edit, Ive seen these https://www.amazon.co.uk/SOFFIT-PUSH-AIRFLOW-VENTILATOR-GRILLE/dp/B006ZLKEEK Any good?

Very informative post Ken, thanks I havent checked but I suspect I dont have vents in the soffits, should I cut some grills in, something like below? http://www.naplesuk.com/vent-soffit-grille-with-fly-screen-round-100mm.html Thanks

I would need to check if there are vents in the soffits, I'm guessing that's what's required?

hi Putting the Christmas decorations away, I was surprised to see so much condensation in the loft, to a point where the roof trusses were visibly wet where they are against the felt. The loft is insulated and I'm guessing the response will be to ventilate the loft so warm air goes up into the...

Thanks, I've made an attempt, not exactly a scientific way but found the upstairs radiators open fully which may be why one on the radiators was lukewarm. Each radiator is now getting hot, exactly the same temperature maybe not but a couple you can hear the water passing through, have I...

hi I've read the sticky on balancing radiators, am I correct in saying it doesn't matter which radiator you balance first you just balancing the temperature difference between the flow and return? Is there a link to the thermometer I should use? Thanks

Yes it has power, shower worked this morning although thinking about it the water pressure seemed a little low

hi My Triton Aquatronic IPS power shower has packed up today, switch it on and there is no water. We're going to have a new bathroom fitted in a few months so I'm looking for a cheap fix this time round, I've google it and read about the solenoid value, mine has a resistance of 3.6k ohms, I'm...

Thanks will look for hit and miss vent Appreciate the help

Looking at the neighbours house, the boiler would have been in this position so I presume it's the old flue. The proposed extension would block it off so I have little to lose by filling it and if it creates problems vent it at a later date

Yes there is an extractor over the hob, in the cupboard I removed we keep glasses and mugs, cupboard to the right (left on the wall) we keep plastic containers and kids cups. This is a wall unit, below on the worktop is kettle and toaster. There is a damp patch in the cupboard which had quite...

That seems to be the only vent in the house

Thanks, images below

hi Our house was built in the 80's, boiler in the kitchen and no cavity wall insulation. Last year we had cavity wall insulation, installed and we were happy with the results, however recently noticed a damp patch in a kitchen cupboard. directly behind the patch is an air brick, as far as...

Hi Around 2007 the previous owner had a single story extension built, I'm interested in opening up the ceiling to make it a vaulted ceiling, I understand that the current ceiling beams will need to be replaced with (I presume) larger beams higher up but is there a way to work out what is...

Hi I'm looking to remove a sliding wardrobe system and have actual doors fitted in place of the sliding system, probably renew the shelving inside as well. Any one in the Kent area interested in doing something like this?

Perfect, thanks. I'll look for a YouTube video on it before trying to locate it.

Ah there's more than one then! This is the one I ordered http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-AEG-Oven-Thermal-Cut/dp/B00DJ4GJ18 Is it wrong?

I left the oven on after it had cut out and after it cooled it came back on, I've ordered a thermal cut out to see if that resolves it. Any other suggestions welcome

Hi I have the above oven, recently I've replaced both the element and the fan but now the fan is randomly cutting out. This seems to be once the oven has been on for a while and when it does stop the heating LED goes out as well which indicates the oven is up to temperature. I've tried Turing...
