Can anyone explain why my windows are leaking on the inside like this? See attached. Will be be down to the pointing? I know there is expanding foam in between the cavity then its plastered over the top. Anything I can do to prevent it happening?

Hi everyone, I'm a new homeowner and looking for some boiler help. I noticed today that my potterton titanium 28 boiler wouldn't start due to low pressure. When I opened it up to find out what may be the issues I was a small drip/leak from a plastic screw(?) behind the pump. I gave the...

Hi All, We have a flat roof over the porch, and there has been some water getting in over the past few weeks. It is a 50s concrete flat roof, and although you cant see from the pictures there is a drip groove which does filter a lot into the guttering. There is still a fair bit still working...

hi in May we had a leak from the water meter Yorkshire water came and fixed it. It’s recently started again (they say condensation) we went on holiday Monday I turned the water off and put a pot underneath. We got home yesterday and the pot was full and overflown. Yorkshire water have been out...

Hi, I have a 06 plate vauxhall zafira 1.6 club. It's done 98k miles. I haven't had it long but the coolant is like grey sludge (which I know is a blown head gasket as oil is getting into the water). But before I bought it, the car had been sitting for a good 6 months. So I cleaned the coolant...

Hi all. We recently moved into this house and noticed a strange raised patch in the bathroom floor. The tiles seem well sealed and stable and there is no obvious leak. We rarely use the bath. I am wondering if this is harmess, like a poorly evened floor, or something more sinister. The previous...

I have a leak from shower, the leak comes out on the ceiling though, so it's damaged the plasterboard ceiling. I presume there is a pipe running from the showeraomg this ceiling and so the leak could be anywhere from shower onwards. I've confirmed the tray is ok, and resealed again, looked...

I have just had a bathroom installed. Things have gone well, except for a leak which has recurred for the 3rd time. I'm getting concerned that they are trying to cover up a more serious problem. What would you think based on the following? Dripping reported from downstairs flat (below my...

Hi, my mixer shower appears to drip from hose and very slowly from the shower head when it is turned off. I changed the hose but when I unscrewed it to take it off an awful lot of water came out of the bar. Is this normal? The new hose is on and its fitted correctly but after a few hours a large...

Hi, I live in a tenement flat in Aberdeen. A pipe supplies three flats on my side of the building. There is only one stopcock for all three flats. Recently a pipe broke in the lowest flat(first floor right). The police and a plumber were called to break into the flat and fix a leak that was...

Hi, I have a Worcester green Star combi 30si. The component which I believe is the flue going outside the garage from boiler has a leak at two of the joints as you can possibly see in the attached pic. Simple question, is this a DIY'able fix or is it compulsory for this to be seen to by a...

Hi, I can't get my friend's toilet tank to stop dripping. It seems to be dripping out of the larger blue dial left of the little white water faucet thing. It also just doesn't fully shut off. I tried adjusting the arm and the little silver screw thing but it only shuts off if I lift it; the...

Hello, This is my first time posting on here and I am a complete novice with boilers so any help is much appreciated. I have noticed a leak coming out of the bottom of my Glowworm 24ci boiler - it is dripping once every 10-15 seconds. I took a look and couldn't see exactly where the leak was...

Hi there, I live in a mid-80’s house full of lovely imperial radiators. I noticed wet carpet in one of the rooms and found there to be a leaky radiator valve. Long story short I managed to isolate both the shut off valve and the lock shield. However, when shutting off the lock shield there was a...

Hi guys, Hoping someone will be able to help with a seemingly simple issue... I've recently moved into a house which has a conservatory that's well into it's teens (13-15 I think) and the gutter has developed quite a few leaks. All of the leaks are at the corner joints where I assume the seal...

We built an extension on ground floor of a Victorian house. The extension is L shaped with a thin part connecting it to the existing structure. The roof is a green sedum roof, with a waterproofing membrane collecting all the rain water and channeling it to a pipe that goes through the ceiling...

We have a kitchen mixer tap that kept dripping so knew that the washer was going. Last night turning this off, it seemed to “snap” and the cold tap wouldn’t turn off as the handle just turns round to infinity with the water just slowing and not stopping! So we managed to get to the cold feed...

Hello guys hoping someone will be able to help me. I have recently purchased a flat and while renovating the kitchen I noticed that there was some water from small drips under the boiler. I have identified where it’s coming from and wanted to know if anyone knows possible causes and how easy it...

Hi all, Frustratingly this is something I've done on other toilets, but either too many blows to the head, of the mysteries of time have stumped me on this one. I've bought a Fluidmaster Bottom-Entry Lever & Fill Valve Cistern Pack to replace an aging float valve system that was making a lot...

We're having a new roof built and in my opinion, there isn't enough pitch. This is partly proven in that the roof leaks and pools. The builder claims this is because the resin used (same as in boat hulls) needs 2 applications (so far only one has been applied) but that there is enough gradient...
