thank you both for your response.

Thanks for the reply Woody. So because changing the design of the steps as indicated on the drawings doesn't affect the way the rainwater drains we should be ok? Do the drawings just indicate where steps would be and not necessary how they would look? We were submitting planning permission as...

Hi all, This may be an extremely stupid question but I’m going to ask it :) We have planning permission to block pave our driveway. We’ve started the work and the contractor asked us how we wanted the design of the steps leading up to the front door. We’ve gone with one rectangular shaped...

cheers for all the replies. Pretty sure I know what to do now. I'll fit a condensation trap just to be on the safe side.

ok, thank you for the replies. Does the condensation trap fit directly on top of the extractor fan then? Is it one size fits all? Could the trap fill up and therefore need emptying? So the job would be... fit condensation trap on to top of the fan that's in the loft fit ducting to...

Hi all, Our extractor fan in the en-suite stopped working and upon investigation i found that it isnt being vented to the outside. What had caused it to stop working is that the fan has literally been screwed on to the ceiling and that's it, insulation has then been put over it. As soon as i...

Hi all - just posting an update in case anyone else comes across this with a similar issue. So it is the soil pipe terminating in the loft, i stuck an AAV on it and there's been no smells since. Whether it was the builders cock up, the previous owners took the AAV with them (unlikely) or they...

There is an extractor fan in the en suite and i'm also struggling to see where that is venting. I've noticed that my neighbours that have an identical styled house have a vent on their roof above their en suite that we dont. It's not a pipe sticking out though so i dont believe it's the soil...

hmmm ok, how do i tell if it needs an AAV or not? The property is about 14 years old but we only moved in 9 moths ago. Theres no smell at the minute because we're not using the en suite at night. How come using the other bathrooms / toilets doesn't result in the same smell or would they vent...

Hi - thanks for the reply. I cant see where the soil pipe from the en suite toilet goes as it's all boxed in. I've look all over the roof and there's no pipe sticking out, I assumed it was therefore ending in the loft so i had a look up there. I've found a pipe terminating in the loft pretty...

Hi both - thanks for your replies @ Andy - must admit i missed off the overflow for the sink when cleaning with the bleach so i've pored some down and we'll see if that helps. @ Nige - i'm pretty much a dummy when it comes to plumbing but i'm reading up and learning as i go along so forgive me...

Hi all, here’s hoping you can help with a bizarre issue were experiencing. For a few months now late in the evening (after 8pm) we have this awful, eggy, sewage smell coming in to our bedroom from (we guess) the en-suite. Sometimes it appears by itself but when it’s at it worse we’ve worked...
