My vaillant combi has a leak and I have just spotted where it is dripping from. The drip is on the brass body of the diverter valve. Not sure why this should be leaking again as a new valve was fitted in January 2025, so just over a year ago. Any idea why it might fail again? The boiler...

I have replaced some double glazed units on a house. The lounge large window came out and a new unit went in perfectly. No issues. Today I have started on the others and I have had an issue. I needed to cut the glazing tape out in order to get the units out. I reglazed with 4mm thick...

The issue was the wing nuts needed a tighten up. Moved them maybe half a turn. All good at moment

This is more than drips though. Its not condensation.

I am there tomorrow morning, but I think it does have the bolts going all the way through and has those big plug washers in the cistern.

Do you think just a tighten on the flush valve nut might do it ? When you reseal the flush valve will I need a new washer ?

No this is not when flushed as I know if that is the issue its the donut washer. This is leaking constantly, a small drip, but it accumulated a pool under the toilet over night. I have seen a vid showing a drip running off one of the connecting bolts.

I have a leak on a toilet. It is dripping from the nuts which hold the pan and the cistern together. I haven’t been out to look yet but wondered if something might have broken in terms of the ceramic. Will the fix be to just tighten the nuts ?

This is my UFH manifold. One of the flow indicators is very black.

I suppose I do need to find out whether the UFH is leaking before I switch to a new boiler.

Well it has been ongoing for ages and in the summer when the heating is not on the pressure doesn't drop. We have no visible area of damp in the ceilings. The area we cannot tell is the UFH circuit in the kitchen. This is plastic pipe in concrete. Can this pipe leak ? It is about 18 yrs old...

I have a valiant 837 eco combi. It is 18 yo this April. It has been loosing pressure now for a year approx. I have no leaks on my system and so the engineer thinks it is the heat ex. He recommended using some leak sealer and I think that slowed the leak down. It is loosing pressure over a...

Ok thanks for info

I changed my reg plate bulbs today and inside the door I had a load of rusty water. For years when I open this door I have gotten a water swilling noise and I thought it was a store of water for the van (screen wash, etc). So didn't think anything about it. But it is water that has tracked in...

I think my tap is the Grohe Bau curve 2017 model onwards. So the cartridge is 46963000. It costs on eBay £53 delivered. A new Grohe tap (prob the same design) at screw fix is £65. Any idea why the cartridges are so expensive ? I may as well buy new as I can change myself. Seems a waste.

Any idea on the type of cartridge ? Will grohe be able to advise ?

I have this tap from screwfix. It’s about 10 yo. It’s just started to be stiff when opening and closing it. Is this fixable? Is it a cartridge issue? Thanks

I binned mine at the tip. Got a free one though. Replacements in the future will not be internet ones

I replaced the hob. Spoke to the appliance Helpdesk and likely an expensive part to replace.

I have an unbranded hob from magnet kitchens I think. It's maybe 4 yrs old. The front right hob is just on full all the time, so I have to switch the hob off at the main switch on the wall. Is it an issue that can be repaired or do I just fit a new hob ?
