Installed by a plumber 8 months ago. We seem to have a noise that comes from the pipe leading out of the cylinder when we turn the taps on. It is intermittent which is confusing us even more. The noise lasts for no more than 5 seconds but it is LOUD. It sounds like a very heavy table...

Thank you for your post Sleephead. I've not looked at Belling but will look it up next time. A few good friends have advised that part of the Smeg price tag is just the name ....

Should I avoid a Smeg cooker? I get the feeling they are all show and not very reliable. I could be wrong but before I invest in one (will need at least 6 burners and preferably 2 ovens) would like some honest opinions. Thanks.

Frustrated as Kudos Straight Pivot door 900mm are aware of the shower seal problem. The fault causes the water to leak through the bottom of the door. After 3 calls to Kudos (the 3rd call was to chase as plumber had waited over an hour for engineer to call back) the engineer told my...

Tony, EliteHeat, Kev, Symo & all who have responded thanks. I called Ideal Standard today and after taking the cistern lid off and describing the plumbing works they have offered a replacement pan .... I now need to call the plumbing merchant with my reference number and source a new plumber...

Well Tony you had me quite puzzled and a little worried. I've woken up especially to check for a reply from you .... I hope I am successful with Ideal Standard - having paid through the nose for a classy looking wc the performance is abysmal ! I will keep you all posted. Thanks for...

Sorry, but you've lost me - what do you mean? Please explain. Many thanks.

Thanks Jamie In fairness the toilet seat has been fixed. I will write to Ideal Standard about the lack of water when flushing. Cheers.

Chris Nothing in writing yet and I have only made one phone. Unfortunately we have had a very bad experience with a plumber. On the WC alone when he first fitted it, the toilet seat wouldn't stay up - you'd have thought that was every girls dream but it was the biggest nightmare for my...

Yes I get the flush but only towards the back and it seems reasonable but the front is very very poor. I realise there is a 6 litre limit but this surely can't be 6 litres - how can I improve the performance ?

Yes, sorry I can't get my head around this, it is annoying the hell out of me "me duck" .... Fellow Leicestonian talk !!!!

Amongst the newly fitted bathroom is a brand new Ideal Standard "White" WC (not much change out of £500 just for the complete WC). The water does not reach the front of the pan ! Are there some new rules that say the WC only needs to cover 50% of the pan ! This is the comment from Ideal...

Some advice please : I have six halogen downlights situated in my bathroom, the loft is directly above. The trouble is, if I go into the loft it is like "morning has broken" and that's without turning the light on in the loft! This is happening because the bathroom lights don't have any...

I am touched at the number of responses I have had from all of you. Thanks again and in future I will speak to you all first, as my Mum has always said : Prevention is better than cure ...... and Hindsight is a wonderful thing. :lol:

Hi Moz Here's the problem. The tiles are 15mm thick - huge buggers as well I'm afraid. Here lies the problem, as the customer and female tile trim is a new concept, bath, sink, shower door, shower, taps shower tray, tiles, adhesive, grout, basin, wc and even remembered the wc seat. I...
