Hey, not sure if this was the correct place to ask this, but I've noticed that our neighbors guttering let's out over our roof just above the down pipe for our guttering. Is that legal? I only ask as with heavy rain recently we've had water coming in through the window and frame just where our...

Hi all - i have a mira sprint electric shower. A week or two ago it stopped working, had power, but no water. After some research i found that a faulty solenoid coil could be a sensible place to start. I ordered the part from Mira, and fitted it and was very happy as water flowed again...

Hi all! Just a quick one, my toilet cistern has a leak from the water inlet valve into the ballcock (picture attached). Is it the ballcock I would need to replace, the valve or both? Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, We’ve had an issue with the boiler losing pressure that needs refilling once a week. We’ve had 3 different leak detection companies and they could never find a leak. We’ve had multiple boiler engineers and they can never find an issue with the boiler. Recently, a gas engineer suggested...

Hi all, Baffled me this one. Just installed a new Vitra concealed cistern. Luckily not boarded up yet. Constant dripping noise which I've located to be dripping past the flush valve into the pan water (arrow on image). It's one loud drip about every 20 seconds. Assumption is that the flush...

Leaky astragal by phoenixw posted 14 Feb 2022 at 8:14 PM We have an outward opening uPVC French door that has a leak from the bottom end cap of the bar between doors. The drainage in the frame seems to be working fine and there's very little in there even after a heavy day like today! Any...

Hi all, We're battling serious water damage on the second-floor front wall of our Victorian semi (pic 1). There are no visible issues on the exterior. The previous owners advised that it was caused by an unresolved roof leak. They finally got the front re-roofed but didn't repair the damage...

Hi guys, I am having trouble with a tap that runs even when stopped. I know it is the cold side by using the isolator valves. I have removed the lever from the tap handle, and then unscrewed the shroud which then allowed me to access the cartridge which I unscrewed from the tap. However, I...

Hi All, We bought a property and on moving in noticed a wet wall underneath a parapet (vendors painted over the issue). The leaking side has flashband over lead flashings which was done to in a poor attempt to solve the problem. There is also some cracks in the render. Pictures are attached...

Hi everyone, I recently had new upvc windows installed around my house. We have an issue in particular with the kitchen window. We notice more when it’s been raining that there is surface water in the bottom corners on the plaster around the window. I wipe it away and it comes back. When...

The bottom of my radiator has eroded and water keeps coming out and it’s leaking into downstairs, it’s the copper pipe that connects the radiator and goes under the floor boards. Is there any way I can stop the water coming out of it just for tonight until a plumber can come out in the morning

Had to repair toilet cistern water feed due to bodged pipe perforation "fix" (by plumber when the bathroom was installed many years ago) giving up the ghost. As it entailed replacing a section of pipe I thought it worthwhile putting in a 15mm ballofix isolation valve at the same time. I had...

Hello, This is my first post on here, basically today one of my shelves decided to partially fall and lob a heavy casserole pan onto the top of my kitchen tap. For some reason my tap has copper pipes going straight into it and not the usual flexible hoses. The pipe has cracked and it leaking...

Hello - please forgive me if I've used the wrong terminology! I have attached three images which show the location of this leak/drip. The shower is connected to the wall as shown - the knob on the left is to turn the shower on and the knob on the right is to control the temperature. Where the...

We had a bathroom leak a week ago. An emergency plumber came out. He found that one of the plastic tap joints had been over-tightened. The copper ring caused a crack in the plastic joint. It had been like that for 10-11 years (since we bought the house). Thankfully we caught it while it was...

Hi I have a leak originating from the chimney when it is really hard, driving rain (only occurred twice in about 7mths so far). Its a semi Victorian house with the shared chimney on the party wall. The breast to the rear two rooms (grd and 1st) has been removed and there's a beam in the loft...
