Hose is like above. Sorry if not clear from my OP. I guess I'm asking why would something leak all of a sudden only at night from two seperate locations when it was fine before. I cannot tighten the connections any more. They don't leak during the day. Could this be related to too high...

Hi, I have a strange small leak in my kitchen. It started off as I noticed a puddle of water on the floor by the dishwasher. Having pulled it out the wetness seemed to come from the water inlet by the washing machine valve. Tightened both ends and was dry for all day. Next morning same thing...

Hi all, Thinking about putting an ensuite in main bedroom cupboard and was wondering if there is a minimum size required for such - i.e regs. just planning on having a basin & shower tray in there. Do i need to inform council? Or when i sell - can i say it was already there before i moved...
