leak

Hi all. I am completely dense when it comes to plumbing/DIY. We recently had a leak in the valve that supplies the toilet. Inlet I think? The toilet is upstairs, but whilst fixing it, the plumber ran the taps up there, the shower and the downstairs kitchen tap. I didn't think much of it at the...

Hi there, very new to the forum. Seen some very helpful information floating around on here, however I think I need more specific help if possible. Dropped some pictures below of exactly where the water seems to be coming from. The nut which tightens to bar part of the shower, this is the...

Thanks for your replies

Hi, every time it rains we get water dripping into our fire place, no damp in the bedroom by the chimney just seems to be dripping down the flue into the fireplace. When its heavy rain its larger and more consistent drips than when its light rain. We got hold a roofer that was recommend by a...

Hello. I'm concerned about my backdoor as we have had some heavy rain in the last day and I noticed a wet patch in the concrete that meets the corner of the door frame. Somehow water is making its way into the house through both edges of the door. I have always had concerns over the...

I have a leaking Salamander shower pump, it's leaking from around the screw as you can see in the picture. I tried changing the position of the screw but that only made things worse so it's now turned off and all inlet/outlet valves closed, which has stopped the leak. Based on where it's...

Hi there First time using this forum so many thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide, it's very much appreciated! I'm in England - cold winters, warm summers. I have a new shed (installed December) which, for the last two days, has dripped onto the floor from the ceiling for five...

Hi. First time here, does anyone familiar with conservatory construction have any clues for me? I have a slightly manky conservatory I'm bringing back to life. All issues look superficial except I have a leak at one window (non-opening). When it rains, water runs down the inside of the window...

Hello, Wonder if anyone has any ideas or thoughts, i've even spoken to a plumber who is a little confused.We have a unvented Stelflow cylinder which in the past year has had 2 PRV replacement and a temp pressure release valve to. While this stopped the dripping through the tundish initially...

Hi All, Looking for some advice, I was looking to extend my drainage for a new conservatory however after breaking through a concrete floor and digging down I’ve noticed a foul smell. Having dug further there’s a lot of water around the foul drainage soil pipe (see photo). It doesn’t drain away...

Hello, Firstly, if you’ve come this far, thank you! Today my family and I woke up to a few rather large wet patches in the ceiling of our kitchen and living room (both dripping slowly in to the rooms). I traced the leak up a floor in to our airing cupboard which has the boiler in. In here I...

Hi all, I currently have a 13 year old Worcester Bosch Greenstar 28i Junior Condensing Boiler installed. It's unfortunately developed a leak on the right hand side as you face it, but it's not losing any pressure and we've still got heating and hot water. I went on Checkatrade and found a...

Hi, first time poster here and sorry this is a bit of a long one. We have rusty reddish coloured marks coming through on a bedroom ceiling, in the corner nearest to the guttering. See photo. The same thing happened in May last year and the roofer we used fixed it by installing new lead...

Hi, wanted some advice on some condensation on our cold water pipes. Please bear with me on this. Just after xmas we noticed a mouse had been coming in through a small hole next to where the gas main comes in the house and through the cavity wall. I filled the outside wall with mortar and the...

Hello, I recently moved into a house and there’s water leaking from the point where the roof meets the chimney breast. I’ve put a bucket down which has caught some water. The roof was completely redone 2 years ago because of the leak, the outside chimney stack and flashings have also been...

I have had this creda shower for around 7 years or so and have had no problems. Bought one of those stone shower heads from ‘Showery’ last week and now discovered a leak. It appears to be originating from the base of the heater tank and then dripping down towards the outlet nozzle. I made sure...

Hello all. I’ve joined this group to see if anyone has experienced or seen anything similar before. I have water/a leak/perhaps rain coming in to my bathroom that is affecting one corner wall. The bottom and top of the tiled skirting is wet to look at as if the grout has never dried fully, and...

Just noticed I have a leak from my flat roof right in the corner of the room. Need a temp method of repair to stem the ingress of water. Weather is foggy and damp, it's a north facing garden and I hear a asteroid is about to hit my location. Putting aside the asteroid disaster for a minute...

Hi. I've joined this site as I bought a semi detached 1950s Bungalow April 2020. We have a converted garage extension on the side of the house where the chimney is, which has a flat roof (we have had this replaced since moving in as it was leaking) When we moved in we noticed 2 large damp...

Hi there, I had my roof done last year and chimney flashing replaced on both sides - the house is a terraced and our neighbours had theirs done at the same time. We have leaks coming in from the corners of the room (it’s an attic bedroom) also - there’s an unused fireplace with a lot of grit...
