No, Scottish water only installed the new Toby, then I had to get the other company who ran a new supply. If you can picture my flat it's above a shop, my neighbours flat is above another shop (barber) our two flats are joined but between the 2 shops below are 2 access pathways, one which access...

That actually makes sense. I'll look into that. Thanks.

[/url] I have mains supply but it goes directly to the tanks and the tanks are too low to give good pressure

That wasn't them, what they did was run new pipes from the new Toby up through my neighbours flats loft and down into my upstairs wc, the managed to cut off the pitiful water supply coming up to this ( damn perhaps I should explain I have 2 lofts, the one with the tanks in it is virtually...

I need to go out now (engagement party) but keep me in mind and I will be back. Unless your next piece of advice is to torch the place.

I've tried to get Scottish water to investigate but they're not interested. I paid Scottish water to fit a new Toby so I could have a direct supply into the house but the company who came to do it abandoned the job as they couldn't figure out how to get the new water into the flat, they managed...

Is that bad? There's A rumour that the owner of a gym, which is behind my flat but runs off the same water, has rerouted a burst pipe on his property into the waste flow pipe but I've lived here for over 10 years, surely a burst pipe would have caused problems before now.

The guys who fitted the kitchen said it wasn't mains fed, they couldn't find a cut off valve anywhere in the house and it turns out it can only be shut off either from the main Toby or from inside an unused shop below my flat.

It's a vokera mynute 20se

No, the kitchen is not mains fed either, it takes approx. 25secs to fill a 1.8ltr kettle

Rem, u got me on that one, the boiler has a pressure bar and never goes beyond 1 but I've no idea what that means.

I've been told it's not, I'm not sure. It heats the water and the radiators. There is a separate hot water tank in the utility room but that's fed from the loft tanks as well.

The whole flat is tank fed, the mains water comes in to one of the two tanks and they supply the whole flat, iv had loads of plumbers in to look at it and they are all equally bemused with it, I can't even get 1bar of pressure on my boiler (which is also on the blink but the guy is coming to fix...

I have a Mira advance shower, im not sure of the rating but it keeps cutting out and going to 'service' light. It's probably way more than 6 years old as I picked it up 2nd hand. I live on a first floor flat and my water has always had low pressure, it's gravity fed from 2 tanks which are no...

i can open the covering plate but i dont have a key to open the valve, also if i do open it it will continue to flood, i need to get the gym to get a plumber to find their internal stopcock so the mains can be left on for me to get water while they sort out whatever is causing the problem, as...
