excellent pics. You see the isolation valves that the flexi pipes are connected to? Disconnect the flexi pipe from the valve, they wont be that tight. (BUT turn the water off first). Then slowly turn the water back on and see if water comes out of the valve at a decent rate. If it does, the...

What about the waste pipe? where does that run? if you've gone 50mm below ground level, how/where will the waste water go?

can you see the pin? you may have to try being a bit creative, maybe tape a strong magnet onto a stick and dip it into the water to try and pick it out. If not, just pop down to the local plumbers merchant, take a pic of the cistern/flush, and they'll be able to give you a replacement. Probably...

Thanks for the explanation! its amazing how little things the average person probably doesnt even notice, is purposely designed to prevent certain problems etc. I had no idea about air breaks/gaps etc in Cisterns.

Hi, after advice on a previous thread about a ballvalve that needed changing, I went out yesterday and changed it. Whilst at the house, I noticved in the same airing cupboard, a pump and it looked in a rather poor condition. Now i'm not a qualified plumber or gas safe, so I am not too sure what...

If the hot water works on downstairs basin and upstairs, then its not likely to be a boiler issue. The problem will more likely be pipe blockage or more probably a faulty tap. Can you take a pic of the pipework under the tap, isolation valves etc. If you isolate the valve going upto the hot...

Thanks Andy Fit this yesteday and its solved the problem! :)

Thank you all for the replies. Its much appreciated. I've let the chap know what tiles to go for, now its down to him if he really wants to spend that kind of money on materials to tile 54 sq meters :lol:

A mates dad has asked me to tile his garage floor. I've advised him i'll need to look into this as i'm not sure floor tiles can support such weight. Can any of our experts please advise if this can be done and if their are any particular type of tile which may be suitable? The floors a...

thanks for the link. This may seem a silly question but the link you sent says that its "Part 2". There is also a Part 1 valve. Whats the differenc ebetween the two?

thanks for the reply. I'll try this later. If it is the ballcock, is their a particular type i need to by or are they all the same?

its the cold water pipe as it enters the water cylinder, i've added two pics above. The noise stops as soon was the water in the tank/cylinder reaches the full level. Their is a little black square box in the airing cupboard also, i think this may be the expansion tank? The noise is not coming...

Hello all Does anyone know why a very loud vibrating noice is happening in the pipeworks and water tank when we turn on the hot water? Its really loud and the pipes throughout the house seem to vibrate as if they are going to explode! It only happens when hot water is turned on. Cold water is...

Hi, i was hoping one of the boiler experts could advise me on what boiler to buy. Looking to fit new boiler, but boiler engineer tells me the ferroli, priced at £399.99 from Stax is not worth getting as apparently there have been a lot of problems with them and the manufacturers are not covering...

Hi Tony, thanks for reply. Ive not checked the impeller, could you advise how to do this? Would the domestic hot water plate heat exchanger be affeted by a non-cleaned heating system? If so is there any way to sort this out now? I think the boiler is 2 or 3 years old.

what make and model is the toilet, the flush mechanism etc? these new bogs are supposed to be water saving hence they only use the absolute minimum water, giving what appears to be a weak flush. Others, especially the cheap ones from BnQ are genuinely crap lol
