vent

As you'll see from the below pictures, my cooking hob has an extractor fan. What the kitchen installers failed to do (before I owned the house) was to install a pipe and a vent from the extractor fan hood. This obviously leads to undesirable problems when cooking, more noticeably in the winter...

I've had a constant build up of water in our extractor fan ducting in the loft. This has been made worse by a tear in the ducting causing a leak to spread. There doesn't appear to be water dripping inside the loft from the outer edge of the pipe so I think the seal is secure holding the pipe in...

Hi. Looking for some advice please. I have installed a new pump in my boiler, I first added some cleaner, let it run for 3 days, drained the system, installed pump, added inhibitor and refilled / vented. (the filling loop is in the attic) All the radiators heat up fine and i have bled all...

I was hoping to use some adjustable hit and miss vents to cover the inside opening to air bricks in my three bedrooms (just there for air change now not for ventilation of gas appliances and such like). As plastic one looked a bit chatty and it was the faceplate that moves, not the bit...

I'm social housing tenant and I had a survey from a company called Airtech as we have condensation on the bedroom windows. Recommendations were to change fans in bathroom and kitchen to ones with a humidistat, and install passive air vents in the 2 bedrooms. The housing emailed me with the...

Hi guys. New user....hope you can point me in the right direction. One of my rooms on the ground floor (of terraced house) has a bricked up fireplace but the chimney was not capped. I had that done a few years after moving in as paint work started flaking on one of the chimney's adjacent...

Evening all I am looking to install a wired CCTV kit but an struggling to route the cables due to the build of our house. The external walls are granite and almost 2' thick so drilling a 30mm + hose would be a pita. I though of routing the wires through the loft out a vent but having been up...

I have only recently bought a replacement vent for my baby's bedroom. The house is mid 1950s built and in the box room there is a vent already screwed into the wall. Its the only vent in the house. When I bought the replacement vent I discovered there are no screw holes? I have tried to contact...

I live in a top floor flat and the building has a flat roof. The kitchen hood and bathroom extractor fan flues both go straight up through the roof. Last year around November water started dripping down the outside of both the kitchen hood flue (soaking wooden cabinets) and from where the...

Hello, Can someone please confirm the below as I can not seem to find the right section and my local Building control officer department seems all on holiday. **This is not a thread about adding a toilet, it covers only moving the existing one from outrigger wall to ide return wall.**...

Hi.... A damp patch on an upstairs bathroom ceiling took me into the loft - I found the source of the leak was a dripping flexible pipe that connects the soil pipe to a vent in the roof. The outside of the pipe was dry - but inside contained about 2 litres of water which had collected in the...

Hi All We`d like to get a tumble dryer for our garage and am looking at vented ones. The issue I have is that there is only one wall that I can put a vent on and that is about 6cm away from our neighbours garage wall so its impossible to get to from the exterior to fix a cover/flap, is that...
