hi Everyone one of my bathroom vents go through the roof(pitch) and there is a leak. i can see it coming down the pipe fitted to the roof so i guess the vent on the roof needs replacing. can anyone please give me an idea on cost for a roofer to replace this ? had a quote for £300 to to replace...

Hi mate, it’s resolved today. I called tapworks a few days ago. They said parts are guaranteed for 7 years and they suspect it’s the transformer. They me me one for free which I managed to fit and bingo, all good and working. My main problem was getting access to fit it but got there in the end...

Thanks for the reply. Problem is with nothing on the display, not much I can do. I guess I will have to wait and see if I get hard water then I need to start digging thing out of the way ‍♂️ washing machine out etc to get to the back. It will be painful Thank you though

hi everyone, i have a tapworks water softner which was installed late 2019. it has worked brilliantly so far. however yesterday i went to check if i needed to add more salt. i found the faceplace competely blank. i thought how odd. it always had the time on there. i pressed a few buttons but...

Thank you

So effectively you are agreeing with my plan as the way to disable it but in case the alarm goes off, only way is then to climb up to the box, open it and rip the sounder out? sounds like I may have to attack the box Any tips when box is opened. Never seen the inside of one of these before...

Thank you for the response. Photo attached.

Hi folks I have this alarm system and am thinking about turning it off completely. And I mean completely There is no dedicated switch on the main’s electric board for the alarm. If it had one, I guess it would be easy to switch alarm off and remove back up battery, I assume.? Hmm Now my...

i have got my plumber coming in later this week so will see the options. the pressure balancing might work- will discuss with the plumber . thanks chaps

shower stays hot until toilet fills up and then its back to normal. i suspect the shower is just a mixer but i will look into it. thank you all

thanks chaps

thank you. although this property was only build in 1999, the pipe layout isn't the best. i will have to use one of 2 options, it seems 1- reduce the flow on the downstairs toilet as advised above or 2- get a new shower with thermostatic control to regulate the water temperature for the...

Mrs might have something to say about toilet filling slowly but hey I will just sleep in the shed when it comes to it LOL

Thought about that actually. Only issue is there is no visible pipe to stick the valve on. Toilet is the type that sits flashed to the wall from floor so pipe must be hidden behind . I guess that’s an option if I have no other simple options. Remove toilet, add valve behind it and turn flow...

Pipes are hidden behind wall. Plaster boards as you find in recent builds but will be major work and very costly if I start taking walls down. Hopefully there is a way without making it a ‘big job’ Thanks

Yea unvented. No cold water tank. Previously had a cold water tank in loft but that was replaced with the unvented cylinder in airing cupboard just behind the en-suite bathroom actually. Thx

Correct the supply pipes are buried as JohnD puts it. It will be a big and very costly job to change any pipes. Planning on renovating the bathroom next summer. May have to get some sort of thermostatic valve installed behind the new shower?

Just posted a picture of shower. Thank you both. Yes issue is only when downstairs toilet flushes. Or as Hugh says, when water is drawn somewhere else but I think it’s mainly when downstairs toilet is flushed. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I have a hot water cylinder- unvented. Plus vaillant 418 boiler. No conbi. House was only built in 1999. Thank you
