The web is fine from what i can tell and after drying the timber also seems good. Have treated it with anti mould and looks alot better. Thank you so much

the web actually feels fine, its just the top of the joist that was a bit spongy but as its drying, its looking and sounding more normal. Should I just let it dry and if feel ok, just go with it? Is there anything I should use on the black bits on the joist?

Hi, I am doing renovation on my parents En Suite thats had water damage to subfloor and maybe part of 1 joist. I am not sure how to go about fixing it as both long side edges of subfloor are rotten and there isn't anything to support the new subfloor there (Above the soil pipe). Also, I think...

Thank you so much. Would the cleaner work even if the heating stays off or do I need to turn it for a bit for it to work? Not the weather to put the heating on at all. Also, when I refill the system, do I just shut the vents on all radiators before doing it or do I need to bleed them as i...

Hi. I am doing renovation on my ensuite and need to replace a radiator for a towel rail. It is also getting moved to a different wall. There isn't a drain off on any radiators and once i did some research, I found these drain offs outside (photo). I wanted to ask if these are definitely...

You mean change the stack with AAV to vent it through the roof? If thats what you mean, I dont think i would be able to do that. I know the regs say minimum 75mm but if only a section of the pipe is say 40mm or 50mm, would it make a huge differennce to airflow?

is there a reason for it to be at least 75mm? If i reduce it, it would be just from floor boards to ceiling and then it would go back to 110mm from loft to roof. Is that something i can do at all or a no go?

75mm is still going to be too big. is it not just for the gases to escape and air to enter.......can it not be reduced to 40mm or 50mm? Sorry not sure what you mean by changing the AAV of other to 110mm as i think its already 110mm.
