Well who's a daft footprints then!:unsure: Is it the top connection with the ptfe or the lower one that is leaking.

White metal primer, then emulsion. Could also be pva left on the bead in which case something like Zinsser 123 should sort it. Try a small section first with metal primer you can get "primer for special metals" as galvanised metal is hard to get a good key on.

Just an update, The top fitting will only need fernox on the end of the copper tube around the olive not on the thread it's not needed and will just look messy. when tightening the top nut best to hold the fitting against turning with another spanner/grips as you tighten the top joint. My...

I think those are designed to take a ½" tap connector with a washer. What you have will work I assume it drips from where the fitting screws onto the heater. Lots of ptfe tape has been tried. The heater pipe looks like plastic so care needed not to over tighten required. What I would do is...

If you take a photo with your mobile save it, then when you go to post click the attach files box.

That is a very low head, in my view even a metre is cutting it fine, I suspect others on the estate will soon be suffering the same problem. We used to have lots of council flats where that was done and they suffered problems with pumping over etc. Assuming your boiler is suitable (most are...

My point is though they have let a safe country, where they are no longer in danger so have not sought simply safety but have decided to migrate to a destination of their choice.

Call me stupid, and no doubt someone will, but you turn up in a rubber boat that can travel 60 miles or so. There is no doubt where you came from. A safe country where you should have applied for asylum in the first save country. Take them straight back we are paying the French large sums to...

Chances are it is running down in the cavity wall I would start looking at the seal around the upper window and the apex above it. Not an easy one to give a straight answer on I'm afraid.:unsure:

As a rule the glittery bits tend to be the asbestos replacement board. I had them in a soffitt I had it tested to be sure though.(y)
