Hi HB, I now understand that this is a gulley. Water drains from the sink easily and the level in the gulley doesn’t change, and so I don’t think there’s a blockage. thanks for comment though. mutley56

Mr Chibs, it was indeed 40mm pipe, thank you. I did the job this afternoon as needed the kitchen sink up and running again. I will address the back fill with mortar tomorrow if it stops raining. mutley56

Thanks Nige F. That‘s great advice. I was really overthinking things. thanks again.

Dear all, I need to repair this, which drains the water from the kitchen sink and dishwasher. The horizontal section of pipe ? clay ? seems to be too short to deliver the water into the drain and there is a void underneath it. I think I need to remove the horizontal clay section and replace it...

Thanks Chris. I had flushed the pipe work through in the past with the tap taken off but sometimes no water runs even with the tap off the wall.

thanks CBW, the kitchen tap works all the time But didn’t test any other outlets. Maybe a coincidence, but occasionally outdo tap will start flowing if sink tap is turned on and off a few times.

Hi all, Occasionally, there is no water from the Outdoor tap. Replaced tap. No difference. Took tap off. Check valves work, washer in place, unscrewed head from the body and tap all clear. Tap mechanics seem to work when off the wall. Sometimes no flow from exposed pipe with tap off the wall...

Good evening all Occasionally my outside tap doesn’t work. When this starts to happen, It seems to start working again if the kitchen sink tap is turned on and off a few times. Isolation valve is turned on, there is a double check valve after that but out of sight behind the back panel of the...

Good morning all, got a new outdoor pizza oven. Gas regulator supplied with it is stamped as shown in the picture. Does this mean it requires a 27mm to a calor gas bottle? thanks in advance for advice. Mutley56

For what it’s worth, we had a similar problem. Company admitted they measured up incorrectly. They offered a discount off the cost. I declined as I wanted the window needed to match they adjacent ones. So they removed it and replaced with a window that I wanted and had paid for. So my advice is...

Repaired the crack easily enough. Potentially really messy stuff isn’t it. I’m reassured by the fibres in it and has set well and I’m sure is effectively a long term repair. Thanks for the advice.

Tnx, Herts P&D.
