What are the experts views on getting rid of an artex ceiling? Should you remove the artex first and then plaster, or just plaster over it? Are there advantages, disadvantages, what is the norm? My wife is concerned that if it is just plastered over, then the extra thickness will impact the...

Many thanks, I replaced the large silicone washer and the issue us now resolved. Very much appreciated.

Thanks, I had tried turning the washer around as it didn't look that flat, but that made no difference. I will give what you suggested a try, and then see what I need to order. Many thanks'

Would anyone be able to tell me which replacement part I would need, this is the current one and it just clips in to the base, one clip each side.

Isolated the en-suite loo for 12hrs, noise gone away, so now I know it's definitely the look that's the issue :)

Apologies for the comment, it was just that everyone else has been really helpful, then you just get called a numpty. Anyway, what I was saying is that once flushed, if I then mark the line and the water stays at the same level, then that suggests that water isn't leaking from the cistern, and...

But if it was filling up slowly after the initial fill, then it wouldn't be the same level it would be above the line I had marked after that initial fill, you numpty!

I checked it in the cistern, I flushed, waited until it stopped and then drew a line at the water level. I will give it a try, isolating the feed to the cistern - thanks.

It works fine and has done every since we have had it. Just this noise a few times each day, and as I say, I can't be 100% whether it is from the boiler unless I spent hours stood in the garage next to it to try to catch the noise.

Hi, it's detached. I can't be 100% certain, but it does seem to have started after we had a new boiler installed 18 months or so ago, hence when I initially posted it, I assumed it was boiler related. Maybe the boiler letting off pressure, or pressurising, not sure as I'm not not a plumber so...

Well after testing for a while I don't think it's that. We have three toilets, on each, I flushed and then marked a line at the water level when they had filled. A few hours later I checked the water levels, and the same. Then later when we heard the noise, I checked again and all still had the...

Interesting, it is that sort of sound.

Should be able to, there is a mains switch next to it that feeds it. Cheers.

I don't believe it's that as I know that sound. I assumed it may be boiler related as we didn't use to get it when we had our old boiler, and although I can't say for certain, my wife is adamant that when she hears it when sitting in bed, it comes from the boiler which is in the garage directly...

I forgot to add, that the boiler is an Ideal Logic Heat H18 2016, and was installed around 18 months ago.

For the last few weeks we have noticed a random 'whooshing' noise that happens a number of times each day, and sounds like it may be coming from the boiler; however, we can't be sure. Everything seems to be working fine. The noise is only for a couple of seconds, and sort of sounds like the...

Just had a look at their trim, looks like decent stuff. The problem I have is that the window recess is something like 100cm x 50cm so using the trim sizes that they are showing would be a bit too big. I could do with something with 10mm at the most. Thanks for the tip.

Hi all, just joined. This isn't exactly a disaster but as we've had a lot of work done at home over the last few weeks and had lots of issues, I thought I'd post about this aspect as after searching the internet I'm struggling to find what I'm after. We had a complete bathroom re-fit as part of...
