leak

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...

Hi there - help really appreciated! Around 5-6 years ago our roof started leaking. We were advised it was the valley that was leaking and paid for it to be sealed (I'm not sure with what). This week it the same leak has started again. We have had 3 roofers out who have all advised...

Hi, This is a small flat roof that joins to the house and main pitched roof. Some background info: It has never had any insulation between rafters and doesn't have insulation on top. Timber roof joists/rafters with timber furring. Then plywood and then torch on felt. We discovered the...

So, we've been having leaks for nearly 18 months on our garden office, which has velux-equivalent windows on a flat roof, when they're meant to be on an angle of 18 degrees (I think?). While we wait for the builders to come up with a meaningful and final solution, I want to flash-tape the...

Hiya, I used the straight coupler to joint an old pipe which is slightly small than the new one (22mm) ‍♂️. It has a slight leak on it. Is there any way that I could seal it without drain the system again and soldering it?

I hope someone will be able to help. This morning i found water all over the floor under the hot water cylinder and i traced the leak to one of the thermostats attached to the hot water cylinder. I have contacted a plumber who i have used before who is pretty sure it is a cracked cylinder (he...

Hi all. After 18 months we have just started to get rain water coming in to the house between the top of the bifold door and the plaster. The rain has been heavy and upon investigation there is a small hair line crack which runs the length of the first mortar line of the three rows of bricks...

I think I got a leak somewhere in the CH system that I can't locate. It seems to be leaking when the pipework is cold, not when sufficiently warm. This morning the combi boiler, Baxi 830 installed in February, did not come on due to pressure drop, to about 0.5 bar. I tried to top up, initially...

We are having a loft extension and are having a flat (Zero deg) fixed rooflight installed on the new dormer - this one...

Hello all! During lockdown in April we moved into a new house and on day 1 found a gas leak which required a new boiler system. Our options were limited due to full lockdown so we got in touch with the closest boiler installation guy we could find, willing to work during the lockdown. Long...

Hi guys, I had a drip from my Deluxe chrome monobloc tap. I fixed it by removing the cold tap side and replacing washer. Now water is leaking from bottom of base. Shining torch at base and switching on tap you can see water leaking from the base. I've attached a photo. How do I fix this...

I'm installing a shower head elbow wall plate (for the first time). The depth of the 1/2 inch threaded socket isn't enough to clear the depth of the backer board (see attached picture) plus a further 12mm of tile and adhesive. The joint between the shower arm and the elbow would be right in the...

I have a potterton boiler that’s leaking water from under the control panel. Just seems to be a few drops every few days. It seems to be working otherwise. Worried it’s on its last legs. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi all, just bought my first house which came with a lovely shed. Its 18 years old according to the neighbour and has the original felt roof shingles which are still not leaking. I noticed small beads of water coming in through the wall in driving rain, through the knots. This wall looks...

Hi, I previously posted about not being able to get ceramic valves off my tap to change, but finally managed to. I was told previously on here to buy a new one but I’m going to win this fight and not give in.;) I’ve attached a picture of the neck of the tap and the screw cap. I’m going to...
