    Condenser dryer, should all water be pumping out of machine?

    It's a heat pump dryer, so no plumbing. After a lot of google and youtube some is normal. It seems to be a condenser problem, with 3 appliance people saying no your need a refrigeration engineer. So after 6 hrs of pulling it apart and cleaning it, it's got the same drying power and a weezy old...

    We're getting condensation in the loft and the loft latch looks the culprit. It has the metal ladder attached which has probably twisted the hatch door over time. The loft door closes upwards. I'm going to add foam seal strips for the hatch door to course against. But need a way of securing...

    Insulating Suspended Concrete Floor

    I've seen a few posts here, so wondering what our best option would be. The ground floor is suspended concrete, with no insulation in it. We've done Wet UFH in all but one room, which is parquet flooring. That room is too cold, so want to remove the parquet and put a carpet down. The parquet...

    Condensation on wood window frames, should I use sealant

    I agree, though more ventilation would mean drilling trickle vents into the frames or leaving a window open (which makes the rooms colder) We've had little to none the last two days as it's been dryer and a degree or two warmer. I'm going to try opening the kids Windows and eventually moving...
