Hi I've found a house that I like and I am tempted to put in an offer. However there is a diagonal crack in the mortar above the neighbour's front door towards this house, and also a crack inside the entrance porch area. The vendor says they have never noticed the cracks, have never been...

Good evening I have some a couple of pipes and cables running down the corner of my kitchen, which I would like to box in. This means moving the Citadel XRI control panel and a fuse (?) located next to it. Am I right in thinking the following would work and be safe? - Disconnect...

Hi there I've been looking for a tall boy bathroom cabinet (white) with a plumbing void, to try and tidy things up a bit. Has anyone seen anything like this? Cheers Shaun

Hi all I have some general questions regarding some maintenance. The party walls in the loft space have a couple of bricks missing and the mortar is very crumbly. This was flagged up when in my survey when I bought my house a year ago - including a hazard for fire potentially spreading. I...

I have an extractor fan with humidity stat. However, it is a very small room with 2 external wall and flat roof and surfaces can get condensation. Do you suggest any furniture is suitable?

Yes I know, I wasn't asking how to find a supplier. Please see my post above.

I'm more worried about finding one that will withstand moisture better and hopefully last afew years

Am I better looking for solid wood furniture?

Hi there, So you know of any suppliers of bathroom cabinets etc that are more likely to withstand condensation etc. I'm looking for something like this: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S79894068/ The idea is to conceal pipes at the back. Are there cabinets available like...

I have one fitted in the bathroom already and it helps, but I don't want the noise in the bedroom at night. (I'm a light sleeper.) I'll look at getting a dehumidifier, and see if that helps.

Thanks for all of the replies. Keeping the upstairs bedroom doors open has definitely helped to keep the place warm. I haven't checked the roof insulation yet but will do this weekend. The walls are solid brick - this is a typical cheap Midlands two up two down terraced house... The...

I can try putting the heating on for longer. After a couple of hours of heating the downstairs is warm, but upstairs is still quite cool. I suspected this was because there are large double radiators downstairs and cheap single radiators upstairs. Am I wrong in thinking this? My bedroom has...

What do you suggest? Go to the laundrette every week? Or buy new clothes?

[/url] Thanks for the link - that is very useful. I suspect the problems to be: 1. Temperature of the bedroom. I will check the loft insulation (I know there is a decent amount, but I suspect less than 270 mm, and get a quote to upgrade the radiator. 2. Moisture from washing etc...

Thanks for the reply. The condensation is on the inside of the window (inside the bedroom). Not beetween the glazing panes. All windows aninsulation are closed at night. The bathroom has an extractor fan with humidity stat, though I've not managed to get this set to the perfect humidity...

Oh, and the window is double glazed!

Hi there. I know this topic has been covered a number of times, but... I am getting a LOT of condensation on my bedroom window at the moment overnight where it's cold out. Some of the plaster around the window is also getting damp, and some mould has started to form. I leave the window...

Thanks for the reply. It was a G9 bulb. I'd bought one of those to start with but turned out to be a faulty bulb! Unfortunately Wickes, Homebase and Toolstation couldn't give me any advice so that was a waste of time...

Hi Does anyone know what type of bulb this is? Sorry if it's a stupid question, but the only bulb I've found that's close if the G9, and that doesn't fit...
