Cheers Andy, Will just do the washer for now, think I had trouble replacing the washer in the main bathroom toilet as didn't know which was the right washer to use. Hopefully will go to plan this time. I will give most things a go (had a radiator off before without much problem) Don't seem to...

Any other wearable parts worth replacing whist at it? Would there be no benefit of replacing the ballcock style fill valve for one of the newer ones?

Hi, We have 2 toilets in our apartment and have noticed that the fill valve in the en-suite constantly drips (from the blue part) Pic attached is of the main bathroom but they are the same , will attach en-suite pic later What are the options for replacing / fixing the part? I have had a...

here is the carport, I have not had time to remove a board but will try tomorrow

many thanks, I will try to take one board down in the morning if I have time, I will take a photo and post here. photo of flooring in hallway/living room, laminate, fibre board, hardboard? polystyrene

I purchased my 12 year old 1st floor apartment just over a year ago and have noticed that the floors get very cold during the winter months and I assume this is due to the ground floor being my large open air car port housing 4 cars. The flat originally had laminate flooring throughout, we...

Eugh, this is why I don't like doing any work. So, I turned off water, unscrewed white nut to see what I was working with Put it all back together without changing anything and is leaking from the nut I have now replaced the diaphragm, o-ring and washer and it's still leaking. Any ideas...

have done a quick search, so let the water drain, unscrew white plastic thread and washer should be inside? is this the washer I need? http://www.diy.com/departments/plumbsure-rubber-ballvalve-diaphragm-washer-dia30mm-pack-of-2/196362_BQ.prd or this...

Not sure if this can be fixed or adjusted but I have noticed a drip coming from the toilet. Seems to go on for ages, dripping from the blue part in the photo

I think the pipe work should be ok as its the flexi hose stuff and seem to remember the new rad being a tiny bit shorter in length if anything. What do you mean by the valves passing? Leaking?

the valves and heating system work fine, it just seems like its the radiators in the bedrooms (mainly the small bedroom) are not up to spec of heating the rooms (i'm guessing due to the open car port beneath). Im hoping that I can replace just the radiators themselves without touching the...

was not planning on replacing the valves, would you recommend that I do? please see old rad and new rad below, was hoping for a straight swap but will get new valves if needed Can you recommend valves to go with the myson rads? Should I get Myson vavles?

I am looking to fit the new radiators soon (have been working weekends so not had the chance) Happy to fit new brackets, not a problem. One more question, the new radiators seem to have caps covering the input/output holes. When taking the old radiators off would I take the tail valves...

Hi all, Looking for some advice, just purchased and moved into a 2bed 12 year old apartment situated on the 1st floor (with car port taking up the ground floor). After 3 months we found the water tank leaking so paid British Gas to fit a new Worcester green star 28i junior conbi mark 5...

Sorry, I should have been clearer, the radiators themselves do get very hot but the rooms are still very cold Bedroom 2 is the coldest, room size 8'9 x 7'8, rad size W720mm x H500mm not placed under window Bedroom 1 is 11'10 x 11'5, rad size is W1040mm x H500mm under window Both are...

Just to update this, British Gas came out today. Turned out to be just a lose nut (not the one connected to the yellow bend but the one above this) I will try to remove the taps on Saturday to replace the washers and o-rings, I'm guessing it's prob easiest just to pick up a bag of different...

yes, will contact them tomorrow and ask them to fix. as for the tap heads, im pretty sure they are not clipped on (as my kitchen ones are). the bathroom ones look pretty much the same as the ones in the video below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-OdcQ2vhkU may need to get some grips on it

I have just had a brand new boiler fitted a month ago by British Gas and think they cover pipework so may give them a call if needs to be bleed. Was thinking about just using plumber putter on the outside of the nut where it joins the plastic yellow joint, would this not work?

Thanks for the reply. How would I undo and refit the nut / plastic flexi without getting water everywhere? Do I need to drain the radiator? Yes, I was thinking of removing all the taps to give them a clean and renew all the seals but can't get the heads off? I think the caps screw on...

afternoon all, Hoping to get some advice, we have recently purchased a 12 year old apartment and going through the process of decorating. I have noticed that the bathroom radiator valve / nut is leaking where it joins the yellow flexi, have tried tightening nut with no luck Have also...
