Hi Terry, yes indeed. Sounds like that's nothing to worry about then! Cheers!

Thanks Terry - genuinely massively appreciate your help with this! One other question (sorry!) which is sort of related... When I flush the loo next to the bathroom sink, the water pressure from the tap is reduced. As soon as the toilet tank has refilled (which doesn't take very long) the...

I'm back with an update! I used a screwdriver to turn the two isolator valves as Terry suggested to about 60 degrees, and the water pressure was quite a lot less (but still perfectly acceptable for a bathroom sink). There's still a bit of noise when I turn on the tap but it's a huge amount...

:D

Hi SFK, ah yes - thanks for pointing that out. My fault for misreading Terry's post! I do get a real gush of water at the moment when it's on full pelt, so reducing the flow to try and stop the noise shouldn't be a problem. I'll look tonight and let you know how I get on.

Great - thanks. I'll give it a go later on and let you know what happens! Really appreciate your help!

Thanks so much Terry! Should I turn it 90 degrees clockwise or anti-clockwise? Also, just to be 100% sure, is it the pic I've attached here that you're referring to? (I'm almost certain it is, but I don't want to turn the wrong screw!) Thanks again!

Thanks Terry. I'm a complete novice on this sort of stuff, but I've attached two photos of what I can see from under the sink.

Thanks Terry - I will have a look under the sink. I'm just wondering why the noise disappears when running the water full pelt?

Thanks for the reply. Is there nothing that can be done to fix it then - other than buying a more expensive tap? I think the one I've got was about £99, so not exactly cheap!

I've just had a new bathroom fitted and the sink was finally plumbed in yesterday after 10 days out of action. I've just turned on the new tap for the first time this morning and there's a very loud noise when the water (hot and cold) is running at normal speed. It sounds almost like a giant...

Hi Woody, really - even for just the most basic version? That is an awful lot of money! The floorplan doesn't really show it accurately but I think there is room for the staircase to twist round again in the landing and go up to the loft, without knocking into the bedroom. So that's something.

Hi Rich, thanks so much for drawing up a plan - really appreciate it! Although some other very similar houses on the street do have three bedrooms, I think having a two metre-wide room (as shown on your diagram) is a bit too small really. I also quite like having a bigger than average bathroom...

Hi Flame, I've just checked - the bedroom measurements are correct, give or take a few inches. Seems like the other two rooms are slightly off! One thing I should mention is that the right-hand wall of the master bedroom (as you're looking at the floorplan) has a disused fireplace on it and two...

Ha - thanks!
