    Hi all, I am wiring a Vent axia pozidry fan, and am I right in assuming if the spur I am using has it's own switch, I can just link the L to the LS at the fan? Many thanks in advance. Best, Alex

    Oven noise fix

    Hello, everyone! I've been experiencing a problem that I initially thought was related to the fan at the back of my oven. However, I've now realized it's not that fan causing the issue. There's a noticeable "vibrating" noise when the oven is running, and it continues even after I've turned it...

    Which kitchen extractor fan?

    Hi all, We're having a new kitchen extractor fan installed - it'll be just above and to the side of the cooker, venting directly through a wall, approx half a metre thick, to the outside.

    Retro-fit backdraft shutter?

    This is only kinda plumbing, and very basic - I do apologise for that. I have a wall-mounted 10cm timer extractor fan in an upstairs bathroom.

    The C1 code is showing (error with fan) after I first first hear brief whirring-ticking, like the fan motor is trying to get going, so possibly more likely the motor as the display is normal until I attempt to run the boiler? I realise this is possibly down to a faulty PCB, which could have...

    Bathroom through-wall extract fan

    Apologies, if not the correct forum but couldn’t find one more appropriate, I am replacing our 4” extract bathroom and notice that both the original and new fans don’t fit flush onto the tiles because they fit into a downwards facing pipe fitted through the wall. I had considered using flexible...

    Trianco TRG45 gravity feed boiler fan removal

    I really do feel a bit stupid asking this but I can't work out how to get the fan out of my boiler for cleaning - it seems to be held in with three pins, and on a base of cast metal. I've twisted it, lifted it, pulled it, hit it - what am I missing? Cheers

    Standard 6AMP Pull Cord Switch as Fan Isolator?

    I've been trying to get around to replacing the old bathroom in-line ducted extractor fan in the loft with a new run-on version as the one up there currently is next to useless.
