Bathroom and en-suite cold tap pressure seems fine. The hot water has less pressure in both. Ex in en-suite is working fine but the bathroom is not. I got a new bathroom fitted 18 months ago so brand new toilet. How do I increase hot water pressure?

Will try this and will just need to identify the correct valves. thanks

Yes, less pressure than before. Also a toilet has stopped supplying water hopefully because the pressure is low

Tried this, what would you suggest next? Thanks

Yes, the pressure downstairs is quite powerful. More than it was before as I thought that would provide the best chance of pressure upstairs.

I recently switched off the mains water supply to fix a leaking sink tap. When I switched the water back on the water pressure downstairs is sufficient but upstairs is not. The shower has little pressure and now a toilet has no water, it’s shut off. I have a new boiler and water tank fitted in...

Changed it but room next door is still not working. There also looks to be a spare red wire that was not connected and tucked away at the back. This could be the 5th wired mentioned, this is it pointing to 8 o’clock position. Also photos show new wire connections, what needs swapped to get room...

Thanks, will check this out. Added more photos as bottom right entry point had three red wires in it, with one being the red link

My light switch had to be replaced due to the button breaking. The back wire entry points in the new switch are in a different orientation, have I swapped the wires correctly? Furthermore the light switch in the adjacent room is now not working, is the wiring linked to this switch in some way...

I got it off. The silver components are covers and slip off allowing the seat to be removed. The chrome fixings on the pan, one is secure and the other is not. The slack one can’t tighten or loosen and just keeps turning. How’s it best to remove and replace as I can’t access behind or...

I can’t seem to remove this toilet seat, any ideas? It does not have any buttons nor when I open the lid and seat to 45 or 90 deg it doesn’t lift out Thanks

Looks like it’s the cold connection pipe work where it meets the mixer valve

Here are a couple of photos, one you can see where it is dripping. Is this 3/4?

My electrical sockets tripped and my dishwasher is not functioning as it should, neither is my microwave but I’ll make a separate post for this. Dishwasher is Hotpoint LFT 228 A. Power is on and I can select any programme. It starts then No 3 flashes. There is also water in the bottom that...

Thanks again, i live in Scotland to so i will probably have the same problems with the rain. Sounds like an extension is the way to go. Could I involve an architect for calcs etc but do the drawings myself? When all planning permission is complete and the build can start, what timescale do...

I think i will look into this more as i think it can be done. I have a friend who is a plaster so i rope him in to help, like wise the bricky. i will make sure the floor beams are strong enough, cheers for the help

I was thinking of building it myself and with the help of friends as I am a joiner to trade and for the past 6 years I have been a draughtsmen, so I could do some joinery work and the drawings. Though my draughtsmen work is manly marine and off shore work so i would need help with building...

Thanks for the info it gives me something to think about as I want it open plan so it sounds like an extension, only do i spend £30,000+ for the missus to have a dinning table !!!! "If you want it open plan, build a proper extension. Otherwise the downstairs of your house will take a hell of...
