Another thing is my wife insists the shower pressure is lower maybe I should get a pressure gauge?

I think the pipe is just blocked. I had some cowboy fascia fitters who cut the pipes flush because it looked neater. It felt like when I was pushing the hosepipe down it came to a hard stop.

Hi John, thanks for your message, I’m trying to limit the amount of times I go in the loft so I turned the stop tap inside the house off, the point was to see if the water level in the tank was going down so I thought it would have the same effect. I think the cylinder is around 20 years old...

Thanks, is it easier/ quicker to get the float valve repair kits or replace the float valves ?

Thanks, how do you know that? ( the water is turned off )

Hi, thanks for all your advice, I turned the water off last night and went into the loft. One of the overflows on the tanks was under water so I guess I need to try to unblock it. The only one that looked anything but full was the small one at the end, I’m not sure of the purpose of that. I’m...

Both

Yes I made sure that was the case thanks

Hi @MikeToll did you ever find what the leak was? I have a similar problem

Hi, we have been getting very high water meter readings, I did the test where you shut off your stop tap in the house and the reading stayed the same, but moved when it was switched back on but no water was being used in the house. im not sure if it’s related but we aren’t getting very hot...

Hi, I spoke to someone recently whose house had been flooded by speeddfit pipes. Apparently they hadn’t had enough pipe clips. On looking under my sink the clips aren’t attached, they are mostly loose from the hardboard backing. The pipes also look a bit out of line. Is there anything I should...

Thanks so much for your help. It’s a wired base and wireless battery powered thermostat. The terminals don’t even tighten up properly to hold the wire, I’m going to have to send it back and just get an old fashioned dial thermostat I think. Thanks again.

Thanks, So if I get mains to it I can use the existing wires to switch it .

hi, it’s a fairly old boiler , at the moment the thermostat only has 2 wires ( which I assume are mains?) The boiler is ideal Mexico. I’ve had a centaur timer thermostat that’s been fine for ages but started just clicking on and off avery 5 minutes. Having ordered this all singing dancing...

Here are the pics

Hi, my toilet is dripping from where the 15mm pipe joins to the inlet valve. I’m not sure if the plastic on the inlet selves thread may be cracked? There’s main stop tap is very tricky to undo once tightened, it’s on lead pipe so ideally don’t want to mess with that. It’s a boxed in toilet...

Hi mate I am thinking of doing the fillet this week, whats the usual reason for doing that please ? I've seen it on a few houses, often painted. Also it's a concrete floor so I guess that's not helping. Any advice would be appreciated Thanks

Does the fillet seem to be something that might help?

Yes it seems to get the worst of the driving rain, although it's generally a cold flat with a fairly high humidity level. They suggested that as they thought the amount of water running down was soaking in at the bottom. I think the area near the door doesn't get much sun also.
