I live in a converted flat on the first floor. It has a traditional plumbing system with hot water tank (small, and in my kitchen), boiler and cold water tank in the loft.
Whenever my downstairs neighbour flushes her toilet or turns on her cold water mines stops.
e.g. if we both flush our toilets at the same time, my cistern doesn't start filling up until hers has filled
Also - sometimes the cold water tap stops completely if she is drawing water for washing machine etc...
This happens both in the kitchen tap (which I would have thought came from the mains) as well as the bathroom tap and toilet (which I would have imagined came from the tank in the loft)
How can I stop this happening? I'm worried it will affect my washing machine pump eventually, and is just a general pain! I'm sick of being second best!
