Hi there, had my tiles on my roof and ridge tiles relaid. also had the pointing done at the end of the roof stripped out and refilled as this was badly cracked and letting in water. Now the issue I have is that when it rains, water comes down onto my car so that a stain is what looks like cement...

Thanks for all the advise. Looked at the 'damage' last nite .. luckily it seems to be confined to water dripping through the ceiling in the airing cupboard, a slightly unpleasant damp smell (like you get when stripping wallpaper!) and load of wet towels. Thankfully the bedrooms either side...

My wife's just looked into our airing cupboard and found water pouring through the ceiling. Thankfully most of the water seems to have been soaked up by the various towels & blankets we keep in there. Got a plumber in to take a look & it seems the cold water tank has split. Can anyone give me...

Our Patio door has lost its draft excluder (young fingers at work I feel!). The excluder sits in a channel and is made up of loads of little bristles with a thin raised plastic strip running down the centre. Does anyone have any ideas what this type of excluder is called ? Don't really...

notice in strong winds, that our UPVC front door makes 'whistling' and 'woooing' sounds. Quite scarey sounding for my youngsters at night! Wonder what could be causing it? could the alignment of the door changed? And if so, is it easy to readjust? I'm no DIY expert, does this need a...

we are at the very end of the drainage system so no one is upstream. To clear it, all I need to do i put the hose on it and it breaks up and flows away. Was considering put some drain unblocking fluid down the toilet to see if that helps.

There are no trees and no one is 'upstream', if we had i wouldn't have this problem :cry: not got any rods..thinking a purchase might be in order.

Our house is about 30yrs old and recently, the drain outlet for the downstairs toilet has been blocking up with tissue & "stuff" on almost a weekly basis. Luckily this seems to occur right under the manhole cover as it enters the main drain (which we are at the end of). Once unblocked, I...

I noticed recently that when the water runs out of the bath or hand basin, the other plug (bath or basin) gurgles and even has water coming back out. I've checked the U bends to make sure that there is no blockages, but suspect something may be partially blocked futher down the pipe. Does...

We had a plumber in 2 weeks ago to install a new mixer shower. Ever since we are getting brown 'algae' like bits coming out of the hot water taps (most noticeable when running a bath or filling the wash basin). I though it was just sediment being stirred up by the work, but its still coming...

I'm having a mixer shower installed, off a gravity fed system. The shower is a low presure kind as the head room from the cold water tank to the shower head is about 1m. However, when the plumber tried the shower only a trickle of cold water came out and no hot at all. He reckons that I need a...
