I'm adding an extractor fan to a bathroom in a 4th floor flat.
The builder has helpfully cored a hole for me (110mm)
In the past I've used the Manrose Internal fit wall kit which works brilliantly IF you know in advance and core a 117mm hole...

I'm struggling to find an answer to this question online. I'm new here btw - I'm a DIYer with a physics degree
Currently when my fridge motor turns off, I get a transient voltage spike on other devices plugged into the same circuit (i.e. an internal surge)

Being a bit naughty, as this isn't electrical, but I thought It would get far more replies rather than in another part of the forum. Reckon I've got an hour or two before Westward spots it ?.

Hello,
Is there a product available (not a DIY solution) to stick our step ladders to the (internal) roof of the van. Instead of lying on top of everything. Have seen 'Jet Rack' on US sites. Looks a bit pricey and a bit of unistrut on top.
For those that have this, what have you used?
