Thanks for all the suggestions, think I'll try with those slim Ideal push connectors, I reckon they will fit in the fan casing. If they don't, plenty of other excellent suggestions. Thank you.

Unfortunately I've temporarily put things back together until I can next have a go in a few days time. However I can confirm the new fan is an Envirovent Silent 100T (the old one was a Manrose, I can't remember the model). If I could use the wago's without an enclosure and stuff them up the...

Hi all, I need to replace a bathroom extractor fan, but the cable for the existing fan is too short to reach the connections on the new fan (different make). The cable currently comes down a small hole in the ceiling next to the vent pipe. I can't see an easy way for me to install a junction...

Thanks, I think so too but as I am not sure how a waste pipe is normally connected underneath the floor I was a little concerned. It's a good suggestion from the other reply to pour a load of water down there just to make sure nothing unexpected happens before I lay the floor and finish...

How could I open it up? The floor boards are big tongue and groove chipboard sheets and I can't really see how I could lift them without damage.

Hi, I'm currently doing a renovation to my under stairs ground floor toilet. Last week I had the plasterer in and I have noticed that he had rotated the waste pipe where it disappears through the chipboard subfloor 180 degrees to allow him better access. I am not really sure how the waste...

And what about where the plywood joins? Should I use anything to cover the joint?

I will be as careful as I can be, I have no idea where they are. Will just play it safe and be very cautious when screwing. What is the normal depth of chipboard flooring in a late 1990s house?

I was asking for that . I just wasn't sure if screws just into the chipboard sub floor would be enough and I may need adhesive as well. What sort of distance apart should the screws be please?

The LVT Click flooring I have specifically says not to use an underlay (this was also re-advised by the shop floor worker when purchasing it)

Hi, I am currently part way through a renovation of a small downstairs WC. I have removed the old floor tiles (which were about 11mm with the adhesive) and will be laying some LVT planks which are only 5mm. I need to make up the remaining 6mm so it doesn't look like a big step down from the...

What about cleaning it? Doesn't it get marked from the soap splashes etc?

Thanks for the tips so far, I have just discovered that these tiles are made from Teak, so I am not sure if that makes find the suitable product easier?

Hi, I have some nice wood tiles left over from a bedroom project that I would like to fit on a small wall behind a wash hand basin in a downstairs toilet. I am a bit worried that if I don't waterproof/seal them they are going to get damaged from the splashes from the basin. What would be the...

Do you think cutting a hole in the corner or the unit (and having to remove part of the top and side of the unit to run the vent pipe will effect the integrity of the unit?)

There is a 20mm gap between the side of the cabinet and the wall (you can't see this from the front view as there is trim covering the gap). The image below shows the gap at the side of the cabinet a d the thin piece of wood covering the external wall hole for the old vent. Even if I was able...

That's not the issue, the issue is how I get it through the side of the cabinet and use the existing hole in the external wall.

No, that was actually a screw I put through to see where exactly in the existing hole in the external wall it would pop out so I knew roughly where I would need to cut in the cupboard side . It's not doing anything other than acting as a marker.

Hi all, In the house I moved into the extractor fan in the kitchen just pumps the air out of the top of the cabinet. I am finding it doesn't do a good enough job and leaves the kitchen too stinky (I have changed the charcoal filter and it doesn't help much). I have checked and the extractor...

Thank you, I have now discovered there is a leak (I've noticed a damp patch in the garage roof) so will get it sorted.
