Hi, I live in a little cottage in Wales which was renovated from a disused barn 20 years ago. It's attached to an un-renovated barn built in the same style as itself. For a couple of years now whenever the wind blows a certain way there's this annoying knocking sound to be heard upstairs... -
Hello, I have a number of wooden items running from side to side in my loft. However, I am unsure if this diagonal beam in the picture attached is doing anything? For context, my very old loft satellite was affixed to it. Now, one side is in the brickwork attached to my neighbours wall and the ot...

I live in a new build Taylor Wimpey property that was built 5 years ago. I had my loft boarded about two years ago and then recently went into my loft to find that all my stuff was covered in mold and the sagging was wet and the point where some sort of taping was applied between the ove...

Hi, My house I brought is 1920's and previous owner fitted ASHP air system only for heating. Now house insulation is poor so why it was fitted I do not know but this was around 10 years ago. My question is in my loft the ducting runs all over, is insulated. But the actual l...

We're planning on using our attic space as a playroom and I can't work out whether the temperature will be balanced or if it's going to be too hot up there in the summer and too cold in the winter. The house is an MBC build (0.11 walls, insulated roof and slab) which is currently in build, with trip...

A bit late in the day but I've decided to swap from a cold to a warm loft, using Icynene under the felt between the trusses. However I also now realise I need to seal the inner blockwork to help give some air-tightness. Current options: * cement render the blockwork - maybe plastering la... -
Why do electricians never allow enough slack on loft cables so they can be raised above 300mm of insulation. Its not as if 10”-12” of fluff is the cheapest and quickest way to meet a government requirement, oh wait… I’m not too fussed about the lights, low load, yadda, yadda. However the...
