I have posted this on roofing forum so apologies for repost. We have recently purchased a late Victorian end stone terrace property as our first home and are encountering lots of issues which is proving disheartening and costly! We were aware of damp issues in the upstairs bedroom on the...

Hi all I noticed water dripping from the bottom of my Vaillant combi boiler and found the source to be the base of the flue where it connects to the boiler (as in the photo below). I've sent pictures to the boiler installer but he's ghosting me. Is this something I can fix? Tighten up the...

Hi everyone, I noticed water dripping from the corner of my Velux roof window in my loft extension. I've read on this forum that water around Velux windows is common, but the leak might not be due to the window installation itself. However, I found a tear in the Velux flashing. Does anyone...

Hi, I have a a Traymate shower tray installed in my bathroom which seems to have started leaking. It has been installed for just under 5 years now but I have noticed a brown line on the ceiling underneath in my garage which would appear to be directly under the horizontal shower tray drain exit...

Hi all Hope you're well. I've just had my house re-roofed (new membrane, new battens , new thin edge sandtoft concrete tiles, and new dry ridge system). Following rain, the wooden rafters are getting damp in some areas (always the same recurring spots). When the rain stops and we have a dry...

Hey folks. We've had issues with leaking around this bay before and had 2 different roofers out to do repairs in the last 2 years. The most recent being this repair to the valley, which I've never had much confidence in (the roofers seemed more interested in trying to sell us a new roof than...

Rain is forecast for the next few days and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to try and stop it in the short term. I thought about spray sealant but that needs to be dry Because it is very windy also I cannot really lay anything against the silicone that is leaking. Are there any...

Hello. I have a Giberit hidden cistern and I can always hear water trickling, especially loudly for 20 mins after the toilet is flushed. I can see water is spurting out of the screw bit as indicated in the photo. I’ve taken the screw cap off and washed it and cleaned all the gunk so it...

Hi all, Got an old 60s/70s PVC soil stack, the pipe socket (which is partly painted pink in the photo) is Hunter branded and has an old O-ring design quite different to modern stuff. I tried to revive the o-ring with some grease and ran a short length of new grey PVC pipe into it, then have a...

Hello. I apologise if this should be in a more appropriate thread. I had a look but couldn't find one. Tearing my hair out here about this leak which proceeds from roof into bedroom, down same column to kitchen on one side and dining room on the other. The roof was replaced two years ago and was...

I've had a complete reroof done (new membrane, same tiles, new guttering, a few rafters reinforced and a new render around chimneys). I did that as a preventative measure as the roof membrane was very old, but had no leaks. 3 months after the roof was done a serious leak developed on the top of...

Hi all, Thanks in advance for helping. Basically, as can see from photos, we have damp patches on our chimney stack. It's out of use and tops have been capped few years back (before our time). You'll see from photos damp is in 2 rooms, that are back to back, and share the chimney stack. 1 of...

Hi all, In recent months, I noticed a leak coming through the middle of our house whenever the rain was heavy and constant. Our house is an old Victorian House with a slate roof, which is pitched, with a chimney in the 'gulley' in-between where the two roofs meet. One roofer said it was likely...

Hi all As title, noticed water moving noise when on the loo and nothing was using water. Turned the stop cock off, it ceased. Started again when stop cock opened. Have checked all taps and pipes I can physically get to, no leaks. Went to the boiler (Worcester Greenstar Combi) and on...

Hi all, I'm getting a persistent leak from my combi boiler unit. It fills a 500ml container a week, so it's not 'critical' just yet. I do not intend to fix this myself. I want to save time and identify what parts I might usefully get for whoever comes and does this repair for me. Here are a...
