water

Have had some problems with water coming in through ceiling in room adjoining next door property. Part of chimney had been removed previously so it now sits above part of the room. Had new roof, chimney had the works done to it, even had some insulation boards put on chimney in loft to prevent...

Hi All ... First ever post. I have just bought a one bed one bathroom ground floor flat with not a lot going for it in the way of storage. Currently in the hall way there is a cupboard that houses an immersion tank, shower pump and also water tank. The place has no gas so a combi is out of...

What sort of fitting is shown in my photo below and is it maintenance free in the sense that it can be buried behind plaster? It certainly does not look like your typical soldered joint or compression fitting. Mine also freely rotates. Fitting before radiator valve: Type of fitting? by eveares...

Hi all, welcome to my post. The front room of our house has had damp issues since we bought it in early 2012. We then had an large extension later that year, although the front room with damp problems was not touched back then due to finances at the time. Our place was originally a cow shed...

Hi.... A damp patch on an upstairs bathroom ceiling took me into the loft - I found the source of the leak was a dripping flexible pipe that connects the soil pipe to a vent in the roof. The outside of the pipe was dry - but inside contained about 2 litres of water which had collected in the...

Is there a legal and gas safe weather shield that can be fitted in front of a horizontal flue pipe (fitted 2012) to stop wind blowing rain into the boiler housing? I have looked on-line, but can't seem to find an answer. Whenever the blowing rain hits within a certain arc I have to put a jug...

Recently moved house and found that the downstairs toilet water becomes dirty (DISCOLOURED) - not through use! The water looks as though a piece of waste has slowly "dissolved". We have two toilets (upstairs and downstairs) which are connected to the same 5inch(?) soil pipe. The downstairs...

Hi all, I'm looking at buying a house with a diagonal crack, ~1/4" up the external wall of the passageway between the 2 terraces. The surveyor thought it was historic so shouldn't be an issue for mortgage. But I do want to tidy it up for resaleability, and before that get the leak fixed...

Hi, I've had no shower for 2 weeks now... Aqualisa can't come out for another week, so I'm hoping someone here can help me fix it myself! The shower came on as usual, but wouldn't get hot (a tiny bit warm) then it just cut off. But the power light on the control was still red. I've tried...

Hi All, I am totally renovating my home i've just bought. We've ripped out al the plumbing plus had a new 25mm MPDE water main installed with good pressure. We're doing a loft conversion so there will be a total of 3 floors with 2 bathrooms (1 on each upper level). I am trying to design the...

Hi I've just had a carpet fitter in and they've burst a pipe. They've said the pipes were too close to the surface and it is against building regs. I was wondering if someone could confirm the depth they need to be by building regs and when this came into affect. Thanks in advance.
