Sounds like it could be a number of things then. I was hoping there'd be one simple answer! The boiler is working, so I guess there's no real urgency as I'll hopefully be switching it to hot water only for summer fairly soon. I will get it looked at before next winter. Thanks everyone for...

The service guy took the fan out and cleaned it, so it's not that. What's the APS (please excuse my ignorance)

I'm painting my bedrooms which are a sky blue colour in silk emulsion (sorry I don't know what type but I assume it's some kind of trade paint as we bought the house off a builder) So far I've painted one room with Dulux Hints Jade White in Rich Matt. It took 2 coats to cover. I was looking...
