oh :-) Grateful for the feedback but i think that will be beyond my limited DIY.... I'm think of giving it a clean to buy me some time then i might need to call someone. I have a dehumidifier. Is it worth me putting that on in the bathroom and leaving it to run several hours in the daytime?

Hi, The plastic bath panel was loose for years i.e. had some gaps with no sealant. I took that for granted not realising how much of a problem it would be later on. It seems when the shower was used some of the shower spray run down the side and was soaking up some of the joists of the wood...

Tried 2 and 3 no grub screw there. Trying to pull the knob off, not successful yet, may try prising off with a screwdriver to get some leverage. I noticed if i pull the knob then turn i can get some resistance and get the shower to turn on and off.. What could have happened behind the knob...

Sorry I'm not sure what the MCB is. This is just the relevant fuse or RCD on the consumer unit for that circuit keeps flicking back to off when I turn it on. All the other fuses on consumer unit stay on the on position. I've never had any problems for years. Homeserve contractor said it could...

Good evening Ken - I called insurance broker and he even checked with his manager. After holding on a few mins he said trace and access is only for escape of water not an electric short circuit. he even said wear and tear of electric cable would not qualify. He then clarified further that if...

I phoned insurance broker and trace and access is only relating to loss of water...there goes I tried. I'll check my Homeserve contract. Homeserve supervisor after me escalating, agreed to call back the electrical contractor and help me out if I can get the wiring under the floorboards exposed...
