Just an update on this, I was busy that weekend so never got around to removing the fan. With the cover off though, I was able to see inside and what I noticed is that the condensation seems to only form around the cover/grill of the fan. Just in front of the propellers and just behind looks...

Thanks @sparkymarka I managed to do this. I constructed a makeshift table from two swing bins and a cardboard box so I could work on the panel two handed without disconnecting everything! The piezo did indeed pull out so it was dead easy to replace. Since they are cheap I bought a spare...

Thanks @freddiemercurystwin and @ronniecabers I managed to do it. I adjusted the door upwards, not by much but enough to stop the draught (previously I could insert a piece of cardboard into the gap where the rubber seal is, whereas now I can't). It did look like the leading edge of the door...

That's really helpful thanks, so I don't need to remove the inner screws to adjust the height, simply turn the appropriate bolt with an allen key?

Hi, I have a set of French doors and the top of one of them only just meets the top of the frame by about 1-2mm so I think it needs moving upwards (I noticed this because of a draught). I have watched various videos but cannot see my exact hinge. There are two hex bolts accessible underneath...

Hi Sparkymarka, this is the part I have ordered (in fact I ordered 2 in case it happens again in the future)...

Yes it is. The gap was replenished after the tundish dripped and then I noticed this leak a couple of weeks later. Same thing previously when the tundish dripped and the plumber replaced a pressure relief valve, then two weeks later a leaking joint was spotted. That's why I mentioned above, are...

Thanks, plumber is coming next week to fix the most recent leak. I think you're right, I probably need to bite the bullet and have all the connections redone. I suspect he won't have time to do it this time around but will suggest it as the next course of action.

Hi there, I have a Pyronix Enforcer and today the internal sounds have gone quiet and high pitched. I believe it's the piezo that's gone faulty so I've ordered a new one. A couple of questions: 1. I've unplugged the piezo but I was surprised to find it looked like it was connected to the...

Agree, the two joints that have already been repaired used a smear of jointing compound and they've been water tight. Just a shame I seem to be working through every joint in the airing cupboard.

Thanks for your replies. I've attached two photos. One shows a close up of the leak. The other shows: 1. Highlighted in red - the current leak. You can see the connection looks dirty and stained, like it has leaked before. 2. Highlighted in green - the two connections that were leaking but...

Hi there, I moved into a "second hand" new build just over a year ago. It has a large unvented Kingspan hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard. Last year I had the boiler serviced and my plumber noticed the tundish in the airing cupboard was dripping. He order a replacement valve of some...

Yep, I'm going to flip the fuse most likely on Sunday and take the fan off the wall. I'll post a photo. I'd also like to re-fit the fan the right way up but it will depend on whether there is enough slack in the cable or whether it's been cut off with nothing to spare.

The house is 6 years old. I've lived here for a year and it was fitted when the house was built.

Okay thanks, I'll turn the power off at the weekend and take it off the wall and see what is behind. It's a newish house, and all of them on the estate have their extractors (bathroom and kitchen) terminating in an air brick. Of course, that's not to say it's correct

So if there is no duct I could add one. Or if the duct is somewhat loose inside the hole, I could pack it out to make it slope accordingly?

Yes, unfortunately the fan is fitted on its side. If I remove the fan and the duct is sloping inwards rather than outwards, I'm assuming there won't be any easy way of fixing that?

Hi there, please see some pics of the vent outside, and the fan inside (I've taken the cover off).

In the case of the main bathroom (which is the most problematic) the pipe doesn't go into the loft, it goes straight through the wall. One thing I notice is that the fan on the wall is fitted on its side. Could this be preventing the back draft shutter from swinging closed and causing...

Thanks for your reply. It's definitely not rainwater, we've had some exceptionally heavy rain the last few months and it's never let water in. It only happens when showering and the room gets really steamy. You can almost predict when it will happen based on the temperature outside (i.e how cold...
