I think whatever tells it there's enough water stopped working. The washing cycles seem to be working fine. I tried resetting the washing mashine. That didn't fix anything. Water doesn't overflow, I think the the draining cycle stops that from happening. If I switch the power off, the water...

Just wondering what the regulations were for how close a socket could be to a sink in the year 2000. The photo below is from a kitchen at a commercial office building that was likley built around the year 2000, the edge of the socket is only about 100mm-150mm away from the edge of the sink ...

This has been going on intermittently for some time, but now is almost every time a cold water tap in the house is turned on. Water bursts out of the tap in stop start gushes, accompanied by quite loud gugg, gugg, noises that are not the banging pipes noises described by some members. It takes...

Hi, Last year I moved into a new property and had a full 'buildings survey' to detect any problems. However the one room the inspector/surveyor could not inspect was stacked floor to ceiling with boxes. The previous owner had stacked all their moving out boxes in this area which conveniently...

We bought a BOSCH TDS3525GB Sensixx B35L Iron and it leaks everytime we try to use it? We fill the water (not over full) for steam, and as the Iron warms up it leaks water out of the base holes all over the stand/appliance and all over the floor? This obviously (as its for steam), is very hot...

Water softeners are one of the most confusing things to research on the web in my opinion. People who sell them drop straight into that snake oil selling mode even though they are valid appliances which do have genuine value. I have recently had one installed; a Monarch Midi. I have learned or...

I have a Vokera Excell 80sp combi boiler. For the last couple of days the hot water has been firing up initially when the tap's turned on and then running cold. I checked the pressure gauge and it was at zero so i topped up the boiler using the filler loop, which seemed to get the pressure back...

I have a Vaillant 831 boiler which is not heating water. It is 4 years old and has had a diverter valve changed 2 years ago. It was working last night but this morning it has stopped heating the water. The central heating is working as it should. When a hot water tap is opened the flame symbol...

Hi All I live in a semi, and we have a patio at the back of the house, what I noticed is that the part of the roof sloping backwards has downpipes connected to the patio roof. I also have another downpipe which meets the downpipe of the patio on the surface of the garden, when I lifted up some...

Hi, was not too sure where to post this, hoping someone can help me out. I recently noticed that a wall in one of my bedrooms now has a similiar look to water damage, a number of lumps in the wall, but these are hard. I had a worker in December redoing our bathroom, which is the room on the...

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...
