Just finished the single skin blockwork for my double garage and moving onto the roof next The double door opening has a steel in position, the top of which finishes at the same level as the rest of the walls (side and back) I now need to move onto building the flat roof structure and am...

Yes garden tap has a double check valve I believe!

Diagram attached. The bypass seems to be okay (though may not be internally) I have now got two garden taps (one soft and one hard as in drawing) I attached the gauge to the hard garden tap which tees off immediately after the mains comes in, and then started turning on taps in the house, the...

Will take a look, it's this style bypass

Setup is as so: MDPE in 25mm to mains stopcock That splits immediately to an isolator then runs to softener which runs to my bathrooms up and down, toilets, kitchen sink for hot, dishwasher, washing machine etc. (the softener is currently bypassed so not active- it is a HF softener however...

Needle moved when turning on the garden tap but didn't move when any other taps went on. I have a 25mm mdpe supply pipe

I think measuring the pressure at the meter might be beyond my ability. I just took static pressure at my garden tap. Showed 3 bar. Turned on kitchen tap fully, which tees off this garden tap (extension) this didn't effect the pressure reading Left on kitchen tap and turned on another...

They used theirs on the street mains, I used one I bought (artic hayes) on my stopcock

What do you mean check static pressure and check again after test? I have a pressure gauge which I attached to the tap and then I turn on the tap with no other taps on that gives me static pressure right? What test are you recommending I do after that? Thanks

House is old 1930, MDPE pipe is new. Tested for leaks (atleast from street to house stopcock) by turning off house stopcock and checking the meter after a couple of hours with no change seen. No taps were running, what amount should it drop if the sink tap were on for instance? Thanks

Thames water were out doing some work on my neighbours water meter today. So I asked them to do a pressure test for me as I've recently noticed a drop in pressure My mains pressure was showing at nearly 4 bar, at the meter. But when I test immediately after the mains stopcock inside my house...

I will. I'm just wondering if there's a better one to do first to maximise space?

The loft and side wont be permitted development I don't think. I'm happy to do separate applications as I'd not do both together. I'm just wondering which to do first to maximise space. If, as it seems most are suggesting, that the dormer won't be able to extend over the side extension, then...

If that's a possibility yes I'd like to, but not sure if it is? But equally if not, I'm still concerned whether if the side is there before the dormer is built, whether id be forced to have a smaller dormer due to some regulations around extra space? Not sure but can see that being a council move!

I live in the Hounslow borough. Have/are just about to complete a 6m permitted development rear extension. I would like to move onto a double story side extension and a loft extension. Id like to make the most of the space and work smart. Would it be better to do the double story side and...

Yes. But that valve is on a pipe going into the boiler fitted just under the boiler itself. Assume this is the feed pipe from mains to boiler that he's put it on

Got it thanks, so it's either on my outside (road mains) or my inside stop tap (which wasn't touched) so I'm leaning to road mains?... Meaning I need to connect with Thames water?

Tap washer, meaning 'in a tap'?

Meter read 189768 last night. Few toilet flushes and some hand washing, tooth brushing and this morning it reads 189793 Doesn't seem like a leak is causing the issue?

My meter hole is clear, tap is a threaded open and close, is fully open. My neighbours meter hole is half full of water but my meter hole is clear. Seems to be no leak in the house where they worked and if there was suddenly one under ground id not know, it's all insulated and flooring on top
