    Mains water to house drop in pressure

    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...

    Mains water to house drop in pressure

    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

    Advice on extension option

    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...

    Advice on extension option

    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!

    Water pressure suddenly low in house after boiler repair

    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

    Water pressure suddenly low in house after boiler repair

    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

    Water pressure suddenly low in house after boiler repair

    Could a leak be causing a low flow? Wonder if I should watch the meter see if there's major change overnight?
