It was the silicone sealant between the bath and the tiles. It looked OK superficially put gentle prodding revealed it was not properly adhering. The bath (shower) is directly above the kitchen and there is an electrical socket on the wall immediately below that side of the bathroom.

Further info:

It serves 12 power sockets in various parts of the house, upstairs and downstairs

It's a gravity shower, no electical connection

Thanks everyone. Davlex: the two-way one serve the lighting circuits only. I've just thought of something. When this happened before the person who did the original rewire told me the MCBs came in different sensitivities and if the problem was not fixed by replacing the MCB like-for-like I...

I have never had to do anything on the distribution board other than reset a switch when something has tripped, but I have a genuine problem this time. First, some pics of the board: The problem is the leftmost of that bank of four switched units (I'll call it no. 1). It tripped on...

Problem is solved. I took the barrel to the locksmith and he gave me a replacement. I wasn't confident as my barrel had a split cam whereas his had a single paddle-like cam. He had never seen a split cam on this sort of lock. Anyway, took the replacement home and the supplied keys would not turn...

Conny I didn't think the locating screw went anywhere near the pins....more so as there are two sets of six (?) pins in the two end-to-end locks. Certainly nothing fell apart when I removed the barrel and took it to the locksmith. But in any case the problem is solved....will post the denouement...

Thanks SFK that's it! The two screws are not woodscrews but short screws that attach the plate. Tomorrow I will take that middle screw out and attempt to get the cylinder out.

I needed a spare key (already have three) for a Yale lock I fitted to the front door more than 30 years ago. The key is only copyable by Yale who require my signature before doing the job. Two problems here: 1. They charge a fortune (about £40 I think, was £5.75 once) 2. They are not doing keys...

Thanks for that HTH. I do have a two foot long spirit level and I would have no problem spending £30 or whatever on a longer one. But I'm thinking it would be superfluous. The finished platform has to be flat. So if the existing flags have been laid at, say, half a degree off horizontal, the new...

I have a 7' * 5' shed sitting on an 8' * 6' base made from 2' * 2' flagstones (i.e. 12 flags arranged 4 * 3). It looks like these flags have been laid directly on the soil but the platform looks flat and level enough. I would like to upgrade to a 10' * 8' shed. On the face of it the job looks...

The plumber has finished the job and I thought I'd post a pic of the end result. Fitting the mumsen rings looks a little trickier now. the new (square) tank goes right to edge of the platform so no possiblity of securing at that point. Also the vertical sections are now sloped from the...

:LOL::LOL::LOL: Just before the plumber arrived the water had started to drip from a second place. I might have avoided total inundation by a few hours.

Got it now, I was wrongly equating the loft floor with the platform.

How do the last two clips you mention differ from the 'two clips on each pipe on the loft floor'?
