    Plaster cracks, or something more serious?

    Hi, Just spotted this in my daughters bedroom. From a distance you cannot see it, but up close you can. Both walls are external and up close the color of the paint appears the same. The temp (to touch) doesn't change between the crack and other part of the wall, and it's dry, not wet to touch...

    Leak, mold, or just a stain?

    Garage roof replaced 3 years ago and just wondering about this. I don't think it's changed in shape or size but any thoughts on if it's mold, a leak or staining? The pitch of the roof would run from the bottom of the picture to the top. We had a leak there before we replaced the roof and they...

    Woodworm in garage beams

    Hi, I've a garage that's in a block separate to the house. It's a flat roof and I've noticed woodworm in one of the beams. Upon looking, it appears to be in at least one other beam (2 affected, 2 not affected) and has likely been there a while (some of the beams look reinforced with other bits...

    Small gap between ridge tiles

    Hi, I noticed this gap between two ridge tiles. Thing is I've no idea how long it's been like that for. There is no water coming in the loft yet. The undersarking looks to be fairly sound in that part of the roof. Question: we've stong winds forecast (45mphs) and rain over the next 4 days. Are...

    Getting condensation under control

    Hi, We moved into our property three years ago and over the last few winters noticed some condensation. There is only about 5 boxes in the loft and it's a 3 bed semi-dethatched. I think it's the old bitumen roof felt and built around 1980's. Inside humidity is usually mid 50's usually, and no...

    Slight condensation in loft

    I've just been in the loft to put something in there and while up, I noticed between two rafters light condensation, along with some across the ridge of the roof, between the rafters. No where else seemed affected. Other times I have been up there has been nothing, although this tends to be in...

    Extractor fan - is this normal on outside wall

    Hi, We had a fan installed a year ago in our bathroom and noticed over the last few days, as it has got colder, that these kinds of marks are appearing on the outside wall. I'm assuming this is just the air condensing and running down the wall. Is this a problem apart from aesthetics? There is...

    Soffit vent rattle

    Hello, We've had a really annoying rattle above our bedroom window since we moved into our house. It hasn't been too bad over summer but with more wind, it's playing up. The video isn't great but essentially the noise is coming from a soffit air vent and it's like a metallic rattle. Initially...

    Bathroom extractor fan and notification

    I've had a fan installed in the shower room and the advised it was all ok and no need to contact the council. All bathrooms now need one so it's a standard thing (so I was told). An electrician came over and asked if we had a Part P for the fan. News to me as per the above... Having looked in...
