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

thanks. Out of interest. Where would the leaks appear from as it’s deffo somewhere in that ensuite

the newly fitted shower and sink runs down a small black waste pipe behind the grey soil pipe. I think it then connects to the same soil stack and then to the pipe at the back of the extension as I’m sure we can hear when someone has a shower. But as i have gaffer taped both sink and shower...

also see rough drawings: 1) back view. You can see the ensuite toilet is next door to bathroom. I believe the pipe from ensuite connects to the bathroom and vents up into the loft and then starts it’s route downstairs 2) side view will show the route to downstairs better due to ground floor...

is it worth getting some one shot acid and flushing it down the toilet/shower/sink?

I just had a look in the loft. So the family bathroom has a AAV in the loft which I believe the Ensuite routes to. Feels a bit loose though but seems it’s all connects behind the walls. The ensuite and family bedroom are next to each other. The flexi pipe looks ok but I can’t tell for sure...

There is definitely nothing on the roof apart from the boiler flue. not sure on the AAV as the plumber that did the bathroom just connected the new waste pipe to the existing in pic. I did have the downstairs extended so the original pipework was extended to go out further to the back of the...

Thanks for the quick response Hugh. U fortunately it’s all tiles up. But before the work was done it bends to the right to goes along there till it meets a new pipe. I also have a family bathroom on the right of that room which I believe also connects to it before it goes into the extension and...

Hello All, wondering if I could get some assistance. Over the past few weeks our Ensuite seems to be coming up with a stinch of like sewer/foul drainage smell. first thing I looked to was potential blocked toilet but it is fully flowing fine and I even check to the outside drain. we also...

fancy a job? :) Does the existing skirting need to ripped off before all this? Also the creaking seems to get louder towards the middle of the room. could it even be from the beam flex instead of the chipboard?

Would this be job for a chippy or manageable as a DIY?

thanks for this. We have a fitted wardrobe now one side so I will get it cut and lifted upto the wardrobe. hopefully the carpet will lay back ok

I thought that was the norm these days for builders. any recommendation to replace it with?

I tried replacing screws and it didn’t make any difference. guess the next step will be to rip up and relay the boards. could it be that the beams are flexing in the middle due to the Length of the floor beams? Thanks

What boards did you use? Chipboard?

Here’s a video of me walking along the floor and when I lean side to side. https://tinyurl.com/y33jgem3 Could it be the beams as we due to span?

Would that be the skirting at the front and back of room that follow the horizontal beams?

thanks for this. Poor work by the builder then. Is it worth getting the boards cut out and putting some support under the short edges and getting glue down on joists? I know it’s a big job but would need to work from middles to sides if I wasn’t to rip off the skirting.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately there are joints that are not screwed down. See pic that I found. There is no heating in the floor and the joists are about 45cm apart. I can’t even get under without cutting up the boards. Yes they put expansion gaps all around the outside of the room...

builder said glued. I found a pic where they had bottles of gorilla glue. Not sure if they just glued the joints or along the beams as well though.
