water

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...

Hi All ... First ever post. I have just bought a one bed one bathroom ground floor flat with not a lot going for it in the way of storage. Currently in the hall way there is a cupboard that houses an immersion tank, shower pump and also water tank. The place has no gas so a combi is out of...

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...

Hi all, welcome to my post. The front room of our house has had damp issues since we bought it in early 2012. We then had an large extension later that year, although the front room with damp problems was not touched back then due to finances at the time. Our place was originally a cow shed...

Hi.... A damp patch on an upstairs bathroom ceiling took me into the loft - I found the source of the leak was a dripping flexible pipe that connects the soil pipe to a vent in the roof. The outside of the pipe was dry - but inside contained about 2 litres of water which had collected in the...

Is there a legal and gas safe weather shield that can be fitted in front of a horizontal flue pipe (fitted 2012) to stop wind blowing rain into the boiler housing? I have looked on-line, but can't seem to find an answer. Whenever the blowing rain hits within a certain arc I have to put a jug...
