There is a stop cock on the pipe in the kitchen, i've turned that off and no water comes through the taps - but still sounds like water running through it?? Who would be best to contact? would it be a plumber, or United Utilities (water board)? And more importantly, I presume that if it is...

Thanks Dave, hopefully your right it about not being a boiler fault!! The display is showing '0' and not doing anything Luckily we are not on a water meter! You wouldn't noticed anything wrong except for the constant noise of the water going through the pipe!

Hi, We have the water supply pipe in our kitchen which is situated by our patio door, when we turn the taps on, you can hear the water coming through, all normal, except that it has all of a sudden started flowing constantly, as if a tap was turned on - except everything is off?? Standing...

Hi all, I have just moved into a new house, (ya know, the one that Jack built!!) and after a long day moving in, decided to get a nice hot shower. And a nice hot shower I was getting too, until my partner kindly informed me that the water was leaking through the kitchen ceiling :evil...

:P :P :P :P Big thanks to all !!! Went out today and bought a new filling hose, fitted it and it works , no more leakage!! ( for now, touch wood :lol: ) damn your all good! :wink:

Thanx ChrisR, i think i know what you mean! If i undo the filling using the "wings" just underneath the black tap thingy, then that would disconnect the filling hose???

pictures didn't work :? Picture of the loop and Picture of the tap

that's right ChrisR, when I turned the timer off the CH started working here's the loop:

can't see how to disconnect the filling hose? the boiler is wall mounted, and the filling loop is attached to the 2 pipes coming out of the floor and not on the actual boiler? is it possible to replace the tap ? if so, are they easly available?! will post picture to show ![/img]
