Okay fair enough. I'm actually looking to leave the current insulation where it is and use Polypipes Rigid Duct Insulation (just so it gives a nice neat look in the loft for all to see and admire!) plus there is about a vertical meter distance from the bathroom ceiling to 'horizontal' duct run...

Okay back to the 100mm version then and hope that the performance is high enough and that the noise is low enough. What is the fall rate for the duct work, is it the same for waste water pipes? If condensate water is going to 'run' down this pipe to the outside does this limit my external grill...

So I'm interested in using this fan: http://www.justfans.co.uk/silent-ecowatt-acoustic-inline-fan-tdsilent-ecowatt-p-862.html becasue it has the increased performance 280-380 cu.m/hr and has a noise value of 19 dB(A) @ 3m. The downside is the duct diameter is 125mm. Can I use a 100mm duct and...

So because my vent is above the shower head, I guess I'll get the best results with my inline extractor. I'm just having a hard time deciding on a make/model as I want good performance, but I want to have low running costs and low noise. :)

Regarding the TLC calculator I was confused with the difference between the room type choices "In Shower Area" and "Bathroom with Shower" as I can understand why "Bathroom" has a smaller requirement than "Bathroom with Shower". But shouldn't "In Shower Area" also be smaller than "Bathroom with...

I was more concerned with the noise of the louvers 'flapping' in the wind. This was really annoying in my previous house. The fan I'm using will be an inline fan in the loft so this wouldn't really work. Matt

Hi, I'm looking for an external grill for an extractor fan and all I can find is shutters that close due to gravity (e.g. http://www.justfans.co.uk/air-louvre-shutters-xlg-p-295.html). Has anyone seen something that also has a magnet (or similar fixing/device) to stop the shutters opening in...

Hi, I have a bathroom (14.7 cubic metres) which also includes a walk in shower. The only internal extractor grill (100mm) is installed above the shower and is currently connected to a cheap inline fan (currently broken) via flexible ducting in the loft. The exhaust of the inline fan (if it...

Hi, I'm not sure if this question is in the correct location but I have a bit of an odd one that may have been more appropriate to Building Regulations and Planning Permission. I'm looking to by a house and the new boiler (Viessmann) is installed above the cistern in a W.C. There isn't...

Excellent I'll get on this tonight as I found I did have some Dulux Trade Undercoat. Many thanks.

Ah sorry, I missed that you mentioned undercoat. I'll have to pick something up to do that then. So I need to do the following: Fill the internal corner with caulk Add thinned undercoat to cover caulk Paint a coat on all walls Fill paper gaps with red devil (just ordered some) Sand...

Ah interesting. I hadn't thought this would be a problem as I have used this caulk and the Crown Matt Emulsion paints before. At the join of a painted plastered wall and Satinwood painted skirting board. Is the reaction different when the caulk is applied on the paper, or is it just more...

Followed all the instructions, although I probably hung too soon towards the end of the job as first few drops seemed too long as the paste was starting to dry off and wouldn't stick the paper to the wall. The strange thing is that I can't understand why all joins are different. Oh well...

Hi all, I have just completed my first lining paper job in my hall, with a plan to paint it with matt emulsion. After reading some other similar topics in this forum it appears like my paper hanging skills are lacking as I would say about 30% of all seams have 1mm gaps and one internal...

Hi, I've had my bathroom ceiling over boarded and plastered approx 3 months ago and I'm finally getting round to painting it. I have been reading a few posts about my various options and I was interested in the Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell. However, is it really worth the extra cost...

Final update. I received a replacement control board today and fitted it. It looks like there were two faults as I also need the new thermistor to complete a wash programme. Thanks for all your advice.

More: I read on another forum that it could be that the heater fan isn't properly fixed to the spindle on the heater motor. So I have just taken the heater box apart and re fitted the fan. It does sound better on a wash programme but still f13. I also selected a wash programme, so I could...

Update: I have just checked the lower filter and all seems fine. I notice the last time that the machine was running that the motor for the fan heater was spinning so that also seems to be working. If there was a problem with the pump/impeller that sits near the lower filter, would that...

I have just received a replacement for the thermistor and I have plugged it in and started a 'Slow Spin' programme, without heat and without a drying programme. Unfortunately, I still get the same flashing lights. 1,2 & 4 from top to bottom. If I try a program without the thermistor...

So I'm just hunting around to find a local shop that might have them in stock. I noticed on another thread that you had replied in Hotpoint WD440 not getting hot on dry cycle that some WD440's look to be different. This WD440 has a thermistar in addition to the thermistat. Has mine...
