sparky3659, good evening. Looks suspiciously like a water leak, have seen dozens of them. Not clear where the top, and most likely source is, as a pure guess ??? some sort of a small, almost pinhole leak in a pipe or something but quite high up ?? Ken.

crockhamtown, good evening. All as Hugh above. You could check for screws with a magnet? If you cannot unblock the trap / bend below the hopper, try a Power washer wand ?? wear goggles or a preferably a full face mask !!! If all else fails you could make an Insurance claim under the House...

Mountain mj, good evening, again. Another go at this ? If??? the bedroom was not in use??? the Rad may have been switched off and Condensation could have formed behind the rad? especially if there was a bed hard up against the rad?? Ken.

Following on from Hugh above. Has the developer / builder undertaken a CCTV survey? if so Bet they did not show it to you. CCTV is a must, sorry about that OK will cost a wee bit, but if YOUR CCTV survey proves that there is indeed an issue, of [say] back fall, or the drain line dips under the...

milo0018, good evening. Any external cracking?? Ken.

Mountain mj, good evening. I assume this house is new to you, not actually a new build? Was it empty for a considerable time prior to your purchase?? at a guess about one year perhaps??? [pure guess] If it was empty for a long time, condensation would be a first consideration, especially if...

Harry. The perforated material is / was a permanent shutter not meant to be removed just left in place, it also [when new] was capable of supporting the slab, now it is corroding not so much support. Back in the day, Steel mesh and or embedded bars were far more expensive than leaving in a...

Rekusu, good evening, below may be of use? Zanussi FL1085 - YouTube Ken

DIY-Nick, good evening. Could be that the "perforated metal" is / was Ex-WW2 temporary roadway used to get trucks over sand or soft ground. It was used [generally] in out houses and other [generally] Non-Habitable spaces, as a so called Permanent Shutter for the concrete roof, it provided a...

Suggest you make "discrete" inquiries with all of the neighbours as to potential drainage issues, see how many have had an issue and how many have similar problems, which in turn points towards a design / and / or a build defect. If the Builder / developer will not give you any "useful"...

Jaynay, good evening. Nice straight line, it is a joint between two plasterboard ceiling boards. Remedy? apply a skim of plaster to the entire ceiling? Or, Apply a thick lining paper, not as good as above but will "mask" the worst effects of the crack. Or, carefully rake / cut out the...

Longshanks, good evening. Fence? what fence.:cautious::confused::( OK I would wait until there is a die back of the shrubbery it will be easier to remove. Are all the shrubs roots in your Garden? Have you discussed these proposals with your neighbour? high probability some vegetation, if...

Have seen concrete laid in an underfloor void the entire area of a room [basically] and it was thought the concrete was installed to stop ground water ingress in that area of the property, this was a Georgian property. Ken

Could it be that the. doors frame is moving?? In image 4189 there appears to be or have been some sort of movement ??? Different colours of paint / mastic?? os something. Ken

gt2, good evening. OK I give up what is a --- not being cheeky but I cannot think what this is ---

MattLiving, good evening. Not the best finish or detailing ever?? Yes there is plywood visible, probably a part of the timber frame?? Sited behind the [what looks like] a composite fascia, the fascia looks OK but the finish to the top of the window is [to be kind] poor?? As a relatively easy...

wilfster, good evening. Looks as if the solid floor + carpet is has a high probability of being your source. What may ??? be occurring is that in Summer the relative humidity rises, i have been watching my Hygrometer [part of a "multi-Function clock"] rise by about 10 Points. The higher...

Fast_Muchly, good evening. As for your Question 2.? As a rule, you can only make an Insurance for something which in some way is damaged BUT? you MUST own that which you are making a claim for. If something [say] falls off your property and damages an other persons "property" you cannot make...

Right. Only thing I can suggest is call the supplier and the makers. Have you checked on-line to see if it is a problem with bath you have?? or indeed the maker Ken.

Call the Supplier and the maker. Carefully check for "Hairline" cracks, use a strong torch, shine the beam not "at" the surface but along the lengths of the bath sides helps spot cracking, also watch the area around the waste for cracking. Ken
