I have 5mm underlay which i thought would sort any deviations. I've just observed the machine on a wash, and the laminate plank under the front left foot is flexing a very little bit..... but not on a full spin, it only seems to go when perhaps the wash is uneven on a slow spin. There was no...

That was my thinking, but use 18mm osb..... but if i do that there's no going back, so would like to try other suggestions first. Like the one Mottie suggested in using L-brackets to see if i can firm up the laminate. But open to other suggestions as well.

Machine is brand new, only been installed a few days

The laminate is laid on a concrete floor, hence my thinking it's the laminate that's the problem.

I haven't a clue, no. I'm not convinced these anti-vibration mats work though, as thought they would cause more movement in the machine compared to being 'stuck' to the floor.... but hey i got to give it a go, thanks.

Thanks Mottie, The thing i hate most is having to get the machine out and back in again....... will def consider that idea though, maybe get a few ideas together and try them at the same time.

Well that sounds like a easy, cheap fix. And you've had no problems with essentially stopping it from becoming a floating floor? I admit i though of screwing the laminate down haha

Washing machine makes loud knocking noise on 1400 spins (transport bolts are out and machine is level) I have 12mm laminate on 5mm foam underlay in the kitchen to which the washing machine sits. The rear of the laminate where it reaches the back wall is somewhat 'bouncy' and i believe this is...

I saw the same thing on the Wayfair site, advertised on sale, but £20 more expensive. The reviews look good, some i've read have negative comments about installation, but none here - plus Amazon customer service is very decent, so any problems and they can be returned. When looking at...

Thank you, that is most helpful. I already have 1.5mm cable handy, but if 1.0mm would be better i can get that - which then i can get enough to run 2 cables from the landing light and be done with it that way. I only suggested the alternative as the cable i have isn't long enough to do that...

Hello, So, 2 x switched wall lights either side of the bed, nearest permanent live comes from the ceiling rose on the landing with plenty of room to connect the cable. I would like to take 1 x cable from the permanent live in the loft to above where the wall lights are to be situated and drop...

Forgot to add we have a PIV unit, so perhaps the best solution is just to close the vents up?

Hello, Social housing tenant here who had new windows installed over a year ago. Been getting dead bugs on the window sill and noticed there is no insect guards fitted in the trickle vents. Reply from housing is vents conform to building regs, so nothing they are prepared to do, but i can...

That's fantastic, cheers Although that 2 core feeds the extractor fan - rather than replace, can i not just add a 3 core cable to run along side the existing cable for the cooker hood - putting 2 cables in each terminal? Got the 5A choc for the earth, I take it 3 core flex is acceptable rather...

Just opened up the isolator switch, and it's a transformer not an isolator - it's connected to a 3A FCU switch just above the worktop. So thinking i just run 1.0mm2 cable from the N&L connectors to the new cooker hood, but what about an earth?

I don't want to lift the boards above, but thanks for the idea - i think running off the existing extractor fan isolator is probably best. Cheers, think i'll run off the existing fan isolator - already have some trunking up there so a bit more won't hurt. If i didn't have fitted carpet above i...

I wish to have a new cooker hood installed that will come with a plug, so need a single socket installed up high. Initial idea was to use a vacant single socket above the worktop, change this to an FCU and spur a socket above or in the wall unit adjacent to where the cooker hood needs to go...

Moved into the property 18 months ago now, and rapidly going through a refurbishment, next the shower-room. Going to put up some of those bathroom cladding panels down to where the altro flooring rides up, but the floor looks very tired, i wondered if to change it I would have to lift it, or...

I'm beginning to think leave things as they are, perhaps open up the fan in the loft to see if the timer can be extended from the 7min it overruns now. We have started to see an improvement since leaving the windows ajar, so best to give that more time and see what happens. The thing that puts...

It was what the housing asked me to do...... would like to see a reduction in humidity once the accepted solutions have been put in place.
