Hi all, I hope I'm posting this in the right forum as I'd very much be grateful for your advice. In my bathroom, I've observed this damp growing to the right of my shower's cubicle. I noticed a while back that the grouting, particularly around the lowest tiles, was dark, cracked...

Yes, that does look quite similar, although the grilles a different shape (more of a cross than parallel lines). I do hang my washing in the same room about twice a week after running it in the drier. But I only notice the water on top of the fridge after I've been boiling water.

I can only see the name 'Steeple' on the fan itself, which leads outside through a vent in the external wall. I'm not sure if I understand correctly but there is also a plain vent directly below it at ground level, in the nook where a washing machine can go.

Thanks, John, I'll give it a try. It's just a simple wall-mounted fan; probably about 6in across the square plate. I will also put a tray on top. I'm confident there are no leaks from the ceiling but I imagine water could be settling on the ceiling. I'd say the top of the fridge is the...

Yes, the extractor does work it just doesn't seem to be in the best position and I cannot move the cooker any closer to it.

Hi all, I wasn't sure of where to post this one so I hope you don't mind it appearing in this forum. In my flat (rented), I have a problem where after boiling something on the hob, as that warm air later cools, it settles on top of my fridge, where I often happen to leave my oven gloves...

Hi John and thank you for your reply. It's a large living room with a kitchen area on an adjacent wall. So, with the hob, hot water and washing machine (no dishwasher), it's possible there is going to be condensation, even with the extractor fan running. There are no windows along this...

Hi all, I recently decided to start painting my living room after growing tired of the landlord's magnolia! Two of the walls were completed last weekend and I left another intentionally because I knew there was some kind of issue with the plaster falling off. This evening, I looked in to...

Typical! :-D One last question - brass or plastic shank?

Hi and apologies for dragging this one up again. But after today receiving my first water bill in this property (£200 for 4 months of living on my own!!), it's clear that I need to hurry up and do something about this. I did attempt the superglue fix as suggested by inspiredvision but...

Hi and many thanks to you all for your replies. I bought a couple of new diaphragm washers (they came in a pack of 2) last night but I've only just gotten around to looking at this, where I've noticed now that there's a slight crack in the screw thread 'housing', which basically means that...

Hi all, I noticed a while ago that my toilet is almost constantly hissing and, as I'd much expected, the system is constantly draining and refilling at a very low rate. I'll include some photos: (Yes, there was a small milk bottle in there!) If I lift the ball cock manually, it...
