thanks for the reply what am I checking exactly?

ufh pump is installed downstairs in the utility. it’s the central heating pump that loses power which is a grunfos alpha 2L don’t seem to be having any leaks anywhere though

I notice it tends to improve when I let air out of the magna flow bottle. i did notice sometimes the pump loses power and the boiler stays on. maybe pump on the way out? Any recommendations for a good powerful pump to service a 5 bedroom house with large number of rads and Tank. The...

Hi all wondering if I can get some advice. We have a vaillant ecofit pure boiler and it seems to keep crashing frequently with either error code 20 or 23. The whole system crashed and we need to restart it. conntected to system is a gledhill hot water tank, pressure tank in loft, rads and...

Bizarre one I did the sink/ shower/ toilet test from each bathroom whilst I was manning the drain outside the house and everything went through ok. Did the tissue test

nope no smell there

so the strange thing this morning. After blocking everything up and removing AAV the ensuite still had the stench this morning. Don’t get where it can be coming from. Unless it’s the flexi pipe that’s gone faulty.

ok so did the AAV test as you suggested. There is no noise/rattle. Only the sound of water passing by echoing. See video on YouTube with my phone right next to AAV. The clicking is me hitting it so ignore that I have taken the AAV off now and will leave off. When I shake the AAV it does rattle...

would I need to modify anything with the grey soil pipe to connect to wc? I guess it’s a matter to measuring distance between soil pipe and wc exit. But as I cannot hold the grey soil pipe and when I push the new connector in will it cause issues ie pushing causing a joint disconnect on other...

yes I see it in the loft see pic. the soil Pipe literally runs down the back of the house in the kitchen (boxed in) into the ground and runs through my kitchen and out at the front of the house. The manhole is on my front lawn. strange thing. So tonight I did this: 1) taped up sink hole and...

what’s your thoughts on the vent in the loft? Apologies I edited the previous post and added the below: if you take a look at the last picture zoomed in. I can just about see a grey pipe at the top circled in yellow. What I don’t know is whether that was where the old stack was connecting upto...

no access whatsoever without smashing. ie to access ensuite area means braking up the boxing around soil then removing part of the wall to see the 90 Deg bend. the straight from the above Bend to the stack is then behind the tiled wall in the family bathroom. then the rest of it before going...

ah I didn’t think the mr muscle was acid. Put that away for a refund at Sainsbury’s. as everything seems flowing well what do you think could be the possible problems. Off course these will all be assumptions. just stuck what to do as next steps and any work will require smashing up tiles...

The water level in wc pan is the same. I have the same Roka toilet in family bathroom and the levels seem identical. i got some mr muscle drain cleaner so will give that a shot in the shower and sink

One thing I noticed. When I flush the toilet I notice the water level in the shower trap moves around. Could this affect anything?

I removed the gaffa tape from both basin and shower. Now the odd thing is that the stench seems stronger in the shower area

from the areas I can reach which is literally behind the toilet and the flexi pipe there is no water or leakage. im in 2 minds to get that replaced at the moment. don’t see any gurgling whatsoever in the toilet or basin or shower. Same even when I have shower on, basin on and flushing toilet...

Damn.....

That small white pipe going into the black shower waste is from the boiler room
