Not sure if I got this right but internals are a flush valve and a fill valve. Are there any brands I should go for?

thanks - didn't think about a seal or loose bolt

A closer look shows the leak not in the pan connector. When I flush using bucket no leak but when I use flush mechanism get leak. Leak coming from back of cistern that sits on toilet (see picture). Seems to be directly below flushing mechanism in Cistern. Maybe corrosion of some kind 22yrs...

I have a leak from a toilet waste pipe when I flush. See attached picture. Looks like leak in the middle of bellows. Can I get away with taping up or do I need to replace? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

it's quarter turn

Kitchen mixer tap is stiff suddenly. It is 16 yrs old. Not sure how easy it is to fix or whether I should just buy a new tap. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks

I've just cleaned the spirotec filter. System pressure is 0.1bar. Question I have is can I top up my radiator with an inhibitor without draining radiator as pressure seems so low already.

Thanks. I'll take a more careful look outside at the sill - couldn't find anything first time round but given volume of rain recently maybe I've missed a small hole/crack. If window sill check fails to find anything, will get my hands on a camera.

Floor is wooden with floor tiles. Wider pic of wall and photo of ceiling directly below

I have some kind of damp patch appear on wall plaster on 2nd second floor bedroom. The plaster has flaked off. The bedroom was decorated 3 years ago. The patch is near a radiator so I thought pipes might be leaking. Had the heating system checked and it's ok. The wall is below a window sill so...

Thank you for the replies Madrab and Johntheo5. I always bleed with the system switched off. The bleed issue with radiator has been going on since last winter - hoping that it was air the would eventually bleed out. I have monitored the boiler pressure over the year and it looks stable- 1.1 bar...

I have 3yr old unvented system with a Vaillant 637 Ecotec plus boiler. The heating system was upgraded from a vented system as a part of a house extension which included extra underfloor heating, a larger 300L cylinder and a new vertical radiator in the bathroom directly above the boiler. When...

Not wet wipes but a type of fancier toilet paper that isn't so fancy - will stick to the cheaper stuff from now on!

To give everyone an update - issue was a blockage of tissues in the soil pipe a few metres from the house. Access was possible through the furnco coupling - a hole had been cut in the soil vent pipe 16 years ago for previous work. A big thanks to Herts P&D for quickly turning up and fixing the...

Thanks Andy - sent you reply

To answer CBW's question, don't think anything has fallen down. I'm guessing clear run after blockage

no detached

An extra bit of information - Soil pipe to the right in picture is from toilet in extension and that works ok

Appreciate your effort in looking at Google earth. I am an odd number. You are right - my insurance company told me I had a sewer somewhere through back garden. Had issues with tree roots damaging pipes 16 years the insurance company fixed. Andy was checking my post code to see if he covered...

It's on rear....but do get feeling Thames Water will throw responsibility back at me
