Would glue be strong enough? If so can you recommend something. I've seen this done in videos but usually on the horizontal below the below the window, where they can prop some timbers against it to hold it while it sets. I'm not sure how that would work for me. Just to add I bought some...

Thanks for that. I will see if can locate wood sections behind the plasterboard. Will there be plasterboard screws I possibly locate using neodymium magnet? If that doesn't work I will try to ascertain if it is steel and if so this YouTube video has useful trick How thick are RSJ's?

My kid managed to pull some curtains down. I'd fitted them to a wooden batten that was already in place. It's seems someone thought it would be ok to attach it with the smallest screws they could find and coupled with the mess in the plaster around the screw holes, I'm surprised it stayed up as...

I have a terraced property with a small area of flat roof to the back. I bought it in 2006. In ~2007 I had the front guttering repaired and the flat roof repaired which was leaking. After the recent storm it has started to leak again but in a different place. Only a few drips when it is...

I bought 3 fans from toolstation. The screw holes don't line up and the power cable enters at the opposite corner. I couldn't inspect them there (covers were attached) so only realized when I got home. The ensuite fan is installed against tiles so I'm not altering anything there. The duct...

As it's already there and broken, rather than brick the hole up and plaster etc. I figured it would just be easier to replace it. It's not the bathroom that's the problem it's the ensuite. It's a small room and is over a garage, so gets cold. What would you suggest to fix the issue? Can anyone...

No isolation switctes, all are just wired to a separate switch in the light switch. I have taken them off now. The 2 getfan4 are just simple live and neutral with no anti back draft. There is no external ducting behind, they just vent straight out to external wall vent. The boxy emma has a...

Thanks. I will take them off and check.

Are these all a standard size? Would any of these fit? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Envirovent-SIL100T-Silent-Bathroom-Extractor/dp/B0080XNKQ0 https://www.xpelair.co.uk/simply-silent https://www.screwfix.com/c/heating-plumbing/extractor-fans/cat840510?brand=vent_axia What about the boxy EMMA one?

We have three extractor fans I wish to replace, preferably with silent models. Two of the same model (GET GFAN4) are in an ensuite and main bathroom. One has stopped working altogether. These are wired to a switch next to the light switch and come on and off with this switch only. The light...

Thanks all. Well now the cold is working. I disconnected the inlet and ran it into a bowl. It had air in the inlet pipe. Just need to fix the hot now. EDIT. Both working now. Thanks again to everyone.

I just took both the hot and cold inlets off. The cold inlet filter was pretty clogged. If I run the shower with the pump off water flows when hot but very little with cold. This is still the case after cleaning the filter. Annoyingly I think i have now airlocked the hot as it worked for a few...

Thanks, I phoned, and a chap asked me to check the cold water tank in the loft for any blockage. This is where it gets confusing for me. There are four pipes to the pump. I’m assuming this hot and cold in and hot and cold out. One pipe comes from my hot water cylinder and another leaves on the...

My wife was having a shower, the kids were in the bath and decided to run the tap and I think the washing machine and dishwasher were both on. The shower pump suddenly stopped working. Now it will only work on hot. If I turn the shower temp to cold, it turns off. I have switched it off at the...

Ok so I investigated some more. I now think it's deposition from the underlay. If you look at my initial picture you will see spots around the edge. These correspond to the pattern of the underlay. I think the diffuse patch in the centre is from pressure where people walk, so the spots have...

Thanks. I will try not using the shower for a period of time and see if it goes away. If this is a shower leak would it be cover by insurance? I'm tempted to just get the whole en-suite redone as it's been on the to-do list anyway. I still don't get why it tracks so far into the room, but...

I noticed a small stain on the carpet just outside the main bedroom ensuite. It has been there a while but I finally decided to pull up the carpet, to look, and the floor boards appear wet. It seems to track quite far into the room, so I need to look further. There is nothing on the ceiling...
