I would like to increase the flow/velocity of water coming from my shower. A plumber came round a while back for an unrelated shower issue and said they had decreased the flow rate and did this via the airing cupboard.

The bottom edge of my bathroom radiator is starting to show signs of rust. It's next to a hand basin so it does get a bit of water on it. After removing the rust and repainting, is there a product I could use to prevent rust from returning? Thanks.

Hi, I would like to remove the outside cover to clean the inside. This is what it looks like. Do you just remove the plastic covers with a tool and then use a screwdriver? Thanks

These circles go along the piece of wood above the window recess where the curtain pole is attached. I was wondering what they are and if they can be removed. Thanks.

The left image shows hot water the right image shows cold water. In both images the handles are turned the same amount but the hot water comes out in a narrower stream that splashes water outside the sink and it stays narrow even when fully opened. I would like to adjust the hot so that it flows...

I'd like to buy an individual box spanner rather than a set of them to remove this backnut from a small bathroom basin. What size box spanner would do the job? Thanks

The water is draining slowly during use and leaving a large puddle. I've tried: liquid drain unblocker, a drain snake and boiling water, two packets of baking soda and white vinegar, but nothing has worked. Could it be a problem with the pump not the drain? I remember having a similar problem...

Hi, in the bathroom where paint is flaking off the walls there is green paint underneath. As it's an older council property I was wondering if this wasn't old paint which might contain lead. It seems odd to have had bathroom walls painted pale green. Is this even paint or something else?

The initial problem was just a radiator that wasn't heating up properly, the technician fixed it in minutes by turning off all other radiators and tinkering with the radiator that wasn't heating up. He didn't go near the boiler. I wonder what could be causing this. I would like to turn off the...

I meant the technician fixed the radiator problem initially so all the radiators work now. Right now they're switched off. The noise is there whether they're turned on or off.

Yes.

I undid the screw until some water came out then retightened it.

All my radiators are making noise as if they were turned up high but everything is turned off. https://gofile.io/d/V5USpq

Hi, I tried doing that now but it didn't fix it.

Oh my bad I meant to say a plumber not an electrician. This is a video of the boiler and noise: https://gofile.io/d/RfJATr The noise seems to be coming from the pipes. The radiators in other rooms making noise as if they're on even though they're turned off.

A plumber came round to check a radiator that wasn't working and turned off all the radiators which fixed the issue. Now I'm noticing that the combi boiler and all the radiators are making a continuous whooshing sound even when turned off. How do I fix this? Thanks.

Hi, What type of key adjusts the wheel head and lockshield valves? I have these peglier terrier valves in two rooms and was told you can't have TRV in the room where the thermostat is located. Is this accurate?

Hi, I have this type of radiator knobs in some rooms and would like to know how to adjust their temperature. Thanks.

Is there a way of preventing mould from forming inside the overflow hole and what is the best way of cleaning mould that is already there? Would it be fine to use a mould remover spray and are they generally recommended for use in and around hand wash basins (on tiles above etc.)? Thanks
