Just done this ourselves. Pressure to existing hasn't been affected, we have one water meter and branched the new supply nearer to the meter. This supplies additional boiler, washing machine, DW, sink & full bathroom. This is an annex for family so we are paying the water anyway.

There are two on the 1st floor as well (only leaking a small amount) I can see the window boards are blown along the back edge and damp & raised on the edges. If I (he, probably or I'll keep the outstanding balance) can do the work as you suggest but inside & out without having to take off the...

I'm happy to remove all of the interior plaster on top & sides, we haven't had a chance to re-decorate since they went in anyway so no issue with another re-finish. Thanks for the link :wink: So, if I rake out and seal all around the inside where the plastic meets the wall inside...
