Hi, I looked out of upstairs bedroom and can see loose tiles on the roof. Do you think these are old?? There are no visible leaks. What should I do, really don't want to have to pay for scaffolding etc just to check!

Hi, tried to look at the cartridge ,think it has exploded, when I literally tiuched it, it made a noise and loads of water came spewing from a nearby pipe. I tightened up the pipe, cartridge fell away, I have someone coming tomorrow am! Oops

Many thanks, is the small screw easily accessible?? I can't see it.

Hi all, how do you replace this beast? is it a simple swap? do I need to do anything complex like bleed pipes etc? thanks. pic attached

All Fixed - just replaced the taps, they were knackered - tried to take apart but screws etc were disinegrating! thanks all

Oh, and the bath tap is a mixer tap with two normal turning spindles. Thanks

Another clue : the cold tap in the bath has now started behaving strangely, you turn it on, not much comes out. I turn it off and on a few times and it kind of builds up to a normal flow. Very weird. Does this all point to washers etc?

Bath tap is normal old fashioned turn it on turn it off. I'll give it a go. Thanks

I have a quarter turn kitchen tap that drips, but no noise cones from it, noise is only from bathroom bath hot tap.

Sorry, I'm just trying to narrow it down, have heard lots of other ideas and trying to pick the most likely

If it's the washer, why does it only happen when the boiler is on?

Thanks, but why would it start now, after years of being fine? And as per separate issue, bit of a coincidence that they both go at once? BTW the heating thing happened only once, the tap is constantly shuddering when hot open just slightly Thanks all

BTW there is no noise from boiler itself, just pipes near Bath. Not sure where the noise with the heating cane from though

It does it only when boiler is on. Hot tap only slightly on, just more than a trickle. Could it be something to do with steam? Water pressure or temperature? Or something more sinister? Thanks

thanks, will do
