leak

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...

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...
