Thanks for that, its quite disappointing to think this tenant who we bent over backwards to help over the 10 years, wants to use a law that is designed for rogue landlords rather than very caring ones like us to...

Reply to the comment left by "Michael Barnes" at "30/04/2015 - 14:58": I believe that's not the case, we have a tenant who left after 10 years in 2014 and we failed to protect her deposit as we believed as...

As I’m a bit of a bathroom Guru on 118, make sure you seal in the bath properly and don't bother with shower screens as they look great when installed, but look poor after 12 months or so and frequently...

That's great and thanks for taking time to answer my query. It's usually bt's issue as nothing has changed in the flat. Current tenant has been there for 5 years so its not a new thing. Just couldn't work out...

To be honest, doing something is better than doing nothing when it comes to sealing in baths and shower trays. My baths can go for up to 10 years without replacing the seal as its doesn't leak and doesn't go...

Search for Vectaire on the web and in particular the AS10 slimline Humidity sensing models. See post above to Dave. I think from memory its a AS10HT PLUS.

To be honest without going into it in depth, im not 100% sure........ However bathroom extractor fans are designed for bathrooms, so it would be fair to assume that if designers design fans to be used in bathrooms they can...

Have a look at the post I just did for Dave...... What I was looking for was function and aesthetics being an engineer. The Vectaire AS10 range is what I use and its the humidity sensing versions. We used to...

Hi Dave, We don't do fans at all these days as it's a very competitive market. Personally I have used the Vectaire AS10 slimline range of fans in all my properties as they shift the air well and are pretty...

There are always more trays to seal. We aim in our properties to re-seal every 5-10 years. Thx for the comments.
