I’ve also read about this product: https://fernox.com/product/ls-x-external-leak-sealer-50ml/ Anyone used this stuff before? Would it make getting the fitting off in future an impossible task?

I am having a similar issue (except with a heating pipe). I’ve come across this product here that I am thinking about trying. https://fernox.com/product/ls-x-external-leak-sealer-50ml/ My only concern is that it is putting a band aid on the problem rather than addressing the root cause.

I have old microbore heating pipes buried into the concrete of my house. They are unfortunately 6mm or 8mm microbore (is the diameter measured as the internal cavity or external?) One of the pipes feeding the radiator in our cloakroom has developed a weeping leak. I’ve attached a picture. I...

My tradesman has just fitted downlights for me in my living room, and I said I would make good. I've attached a couple of pictures of the holes he has made. In the past when I've had this done, my sparky cut circular holes into the ceiling and then drilled upwards through the joist and screwed...

Good point. I asked the builder that question but he said it should be fine - but of course he would say that. The builder will be long gone before uncle Neville comes around for Xmas dinner and blows the pipe elbow wide open with a massive log. I’ll raise it with him again. As for why there...

Indeed! I actually just went ahead and done it yesterday (attached picture). I think I’ve done an okay job although I’m not sure I filled it deep enough. I still have (restricted) access to the interior side of where the pipe is, so I’ll ask my builder to fill that in with expanding foam.

I thought as much - thank you. Is this something I could easily do myself? If so, are there any ready-made mixtures I could buy to do this?

Hi all, I’ve recently had some builders make some adjustments to my soil pipe (moved it externally) and this is the result. Does the pipe need some sort of sealant (mortar or silicone perhaps?) around the pipe? Thanks
