But the floor is drying and wall is still moving? pre stopcock leak would be showing under the floor still no? Also this doesn't explain the sudden jump in condensation?

Hi thanks for your reply. The floor underneath is concrete but we didn't lay the tiles so could not be sure what is underneath. I will have a look at the water mains map tonight that we got from the solicitor for anything running under the property but as far as pipes go the mains comes up from...

Hi All, We have been in our house for about two years. Over the past couple of weeks we have noticed water marks coming through our tile grout in our kitchen floor, we also noticed a water line going up the interior wall (this wall has no exterior face and connects to the living room next...

[/url] Hi thanks for this but i couldn't see how the wiring could now be at fault the hot water was working fine until we drained it then refilled it again. Now we solved one problem and two more have sprung up!! Is this too much of a mystery for anyone, surely someone must have an idea what...

Hi Thanks for this the shower has two controls in the wall one turns the water on and off the other has numbers 1 to 5 for the temperature would that be a manual mixer or thermostatic - if the capsule or spring is broken how would i replace??

Hi I have just moved in to a new property. I have had loads of problems with the heating and hot water this is whats happened to date: Turned water of to change some piping around. Heating and hot water back on ok. Timer started playing up wouldn't turn on or off when it should do - new...

Hi All, I have a problem tap which won't stop dripping. I have tried to remove the gland and we put everything into trying to undo it but the bloody thing won't budge an inch. All we have managed to do is burr the sides into an un-removable state. The clever people before us decided to tile...

Hi all, Our cold tap in our bathroom doesn't turn off once its been turned off. I turn it off and water is running through as if it was open fully. I can eventually get it turned off by wiggling the top spindle about under the tap handle. When i pull the spindle back slightly it goes off...

Sorry everyone for such a delay coming back. I am going to ditch it in the end and go with homeplug 85mbps. I am in IT so no problems on that front. However I may have confused everyone by saying that the carpet was new, it is new but was put in about 3 months before the problem started! Is a...

Hi, Cable runs up meter cupboard then into the ceiling. I presume under the floor boards so not easy to see. We have just had all new carpets down i don't have to pull them up do i??

Hi everyone, I have the strangest problem. We moved into the house that jack built in may last year. Phones had been working fine no problem since then. We had an extension in the kitchen and one in the upstairs bedroom. On sunday last week no one could dial into our house it kept coming up...

Hi, There is no cats or dogs. I removed the two extension sockets from the other rooms the only cables that are connected are the ones into the nte5 socket. If the extension cables are internal could they be damp? Thanks, P.

Hi, On sunday our land phone line was showing busy when you tried to dial in. When we picked it up we got just crackling and noises, no phone signal. The internet was up and down like a yo yo. We had an old type master socket and I connected the extensions the old people in to the back over...
