Not sure if this is in the correct section...as it's technically not DIY.. When I moved into my property my carport had a trifold door (see pic). It's approx 2.5m wide. The carport is 8m long There was a bit of wood cladding above the door which fell off a few weeks ago (rotten wood). Now the...

As requested...taps!

Howdy all So, I moved into a house a couple of years ago. The bathroom is kinda small, but I live alone, so it wasn't a huge deal I do however, have an electric shower. I assume this was put in when the house (1970s) had a tank. It now has a combie boiler. Many issues with the electric...

Howdy all I'm lightish sleeper. I live on an estate so traffic is generally low....which means you notice it more early in the morning when people start getting into their cars at 6am (my alarm doesn't have to be set that early!!). I am wondering if/how I might go and reducing this noise? But...

I got that far..... But could take anymore off. I think the small ring at the top might come off, but no screw or anything So, put it back together again

It drips directly from where the flexible pipe goes into that ring you can see on the photo. Ps taken the on/off handle off to see if I can get into it that way.... I cannot

So, my tap leaks from the area showing on the attachments. However, I have no idea how to take the tap apart. The only screw is highlighted with the purple arrow. There is also a screw on the nozzle itself. I am guessing I just need to put a new o-ring near the area in the photo.... I just...

So, the sum up..... I wasn't turning the stop tap hard enough. This is the one directly under the water metre. I have to turn it extremely hard to turn it off which I am guessing is to do with the limescale build-up? The other two 2taps don't appear to do anything. The house used to have a...

Whoop! Free water..... Unfortunately my meter still goes up!

I turned it until it stopped turning. Nowt happened

Plumbing 101.... Moved to the property in summer last year and want to/need to replace a washer/oring in my kitchen tap, but for the life of me, can't work out how to turn my water off. Under the sink I have these 3.... All of which appear to have no affect on the water from my tap

Not sure. A good few years judging by the state of it! How many years do they have to object? If, if I replaced it could they not object at that?

No, I don't own the freehold (that's one question I've asked the leaseholder)

Hello I bought my leasehold property April 2021. The property has a car port. The carport has a trifold door thingy. The lease says I cannot build where my car port is (on my drive filling the gap between my house and my neighbors). I want to try and put and new door on, but I'm slightly...

Thanks for the replies all. I'll try the washing machine trick too..it's in a cupboard space of sorts.
