duct

We live in a new build (2015) and have recently discovered rainwater has been entering under the floor via the phoneline/broadband duct. The green box is at a higher elevation and the duct didn't have either sufficient drainage or wasn't sealed properly when the property was built meaning it...

I need to get a power cabling route from a distribution board in a new extension to a shed and garage outside. I don't want cabling or ducting visible outside. The issue I have is the builder has put drainage services on both sides of the wall. (see sketch below) - the screed and insulation...

Hi, I'm planning to bury some 50mm ducting under my drive to carry SWA (two circuits) and x3 external CAT6 cables. The run is only about 6 meters under a gravel driveway. Each end will terminate at a brick wall (my garage and garden wall). While unlikely I'll need to use it again, I'll include...

I’m looking to install a pump (Stuart Turner Monsoon or Salamander) to boost hot water pressure all around a 3-bed maisonette, which is very poor currently. The pump manufacturer specifies a minimum of 50 gallons cold water storage for a single bathroomed house, which would mean having to get a...

Hello all, Whilst gutting bathroom chipboard floor in favour of 18mm plywood that is partially over the utility.room below I have discovered the utility fan duct (50cm) ends near on open soil pipe that is 4 or 5m in length horizontally interfloor. It is not connected. There is a steady draft...

I need to put a hole through the external wall for a kitchen extractor and there's already a couple of other holes in the vicinity. I can't find any regs or official guidance for how large a hole you can make and how far they should be from other holes, openings etc. Is anyone here aware of...

Hi all, we have a second hand Britannia cooker hood which comes with an outlet which is 150mm diameter. The external diameter of the duct is 160/162mm and we are struggling to find someone to core it for us, as hire places usually go only up to 6" in size (150mm). Industrial corers can do it...

Hi Everyone. I made request to Anglia water to replace my lead pipe with a new polyethylene pipe. They sent me instruction on how the pipe should be laid but I`m struggling to source material at moment. I have attached guide for your reference. They suggest a 25mm pipe. Is this good enough...

Hi All, Lots of helpful discussion in previous threads, but my question is now specific. Background: I have just redone my kitchen. In an effort to do all the dirty work up front I drilled the core hole for the extractor hood pre-plastering. 120mm straight (slight angle down) through two skins...

Hi, Looking for some advice. Having an issue with bathroom extractor fan in a 2 year old house. After noticing some staining on the roof around the fan we had a look in the loft and found the ducting full of water. The duct lies horizontally for about 2 metres then vertically for about 2.5...

In our kitchen there is a fan extractor on the ceiling that is connected to outside. There is nothing above the cooker. No hood at all. Just a fan in the ceiling to extract fumes. A nightmare really. We did buy circulatory hood with charcoal filter which is useless basically. Definitely need a...
