Hi As the heading says, when I flush the WC in the ensuite, water bubbles up through the plug in the ensuite shower. The loo is also quite slow to drain away. House is 10 years old on ground and 1st floor. Any ideas how to sort this out? Many thanks M

Trying to make the garden in our new house look respectable. It's not very big and is North facing. The previous owners had a large 10ft x 8ft shed on paving slabs in one corner, a small herb garden and a couple of 2ft high x 4ft long x 2ft wide brick plant 'boxes' filled with soil with...

The water going to the new basin mixer tap is currently switched off...?

If I have a pump fitted, will I still be able to control the flow of water through the shower head on the existing dial in the shower cubicle?

Thanks dcawkwell I got my plumber brother-in-law round at the weekend and he confirmed it was the tap as it was a high pressure one, fitted to a low pressure system. And the ensuite pressure is low because of the lack of 'head' so he is going to fit a pump for the shower. Cheers..

Just moved into a new house - 9 years old - with gas central heating. There is a boiler downstairs and a hot water tank upstairs in the airing cupboard. The hot water comes through at different pressures in different rooms, ie 1st floor - En suite shower (non electric) - low pressure Gr...

I have just moved from an old Army house (60 years old) to a fairly mordern semi-detached house which is nine years old. In our old house ALL of the walls, internal and external, were solid brick so hanging stuff off them was no problem. The new house is timber frame with plaster board walls...
