Hi, I've lost pressure in the central heating system and when I've filled it up I could see a tiny drip from this part. It stopped after 5 mins but it seems odd. I've got no idea what this part is. When I added water I heard a hiss of air from it. However the leak isn't enough to lose one...

I had a look and the bottom hinge looks broken. The adjustment does nothing and the hinge pin is higher than the rest. I will try and remove it. The top hinge is missing the bottom screw but it's been like that for 9 years.

Do you mean here?

Hi, I've got a rear single storey brick extension with cavity wall. It has a solid concrete floor. There are air bricks above the dpc. I've been told that they should not have been installed. I was told it was for floating floors or timber. Does this sound right

Hi, I need to fit an isolater value to the toilet. I can see the connection but I don't think a standard isolater is what I need? I say that because the feed going in is male(I think that's the term) Can any one advice please? Thank you. Screwfix and toolstation are a bit of drive away so...

Hi I've got a 12.5 degree pitch roof and 8 years the roofer installed marley roof tiles which are suitable for 15. In the last 2 years I've got a small leak coming through near the vulux. This only happens in very heavy rain I've had a roof around and they say the only solution is to rip them...

I agree! Builder did it 5 years ago. I will do what the other chap said and cut it down. No need to be that high. I can't service it

Thank you all for the help. I will try the aav and if that does not work I will move to a plumber as I think I would have reached the end of my skill. I think fitting the dry trap would be masking the issue. The main soil pipe is brand new but I have no idea what the fitting into the drain is...

This is the outside and the aav is at the top. No idea how I'm going to get to that mind

Is that a general plumber who can smoke test? Do they need access to the bottom stack or is it dropped in

It is outside but the smell is no where near those rooms. I think the cause could be a faulty aav. The 1st floor bathroom is not used much and the bath trap is dry. I think this is being sucked out. I put water in 3 days ago and the smell returned today!

It's sealed behind plasterboard so no chance to get camera in the

Hi I've got an issue with my soil stack. It happens once every few months. Suddenly we get horrible smells of sewer coming into downstairs room where the soil stack is. There is no toilet in that room. The soil stack has an aav outside. However years ago the plumber broke the soil stack and...

Hi, my rak 600 toilet has suddenly started playing up. After a flush out keeps running a small trickle into the pan. If i move the blue plastic bit it stops. Can anyone advise on how to repair this please?

Hi thanks for the responses. Sadly the plate is fixed using grout. I guess when they fitted it I didn't question access. A dremal tool and precision will now be required. Then I can fix it using silicone. A job for next week

Hi, I've got this concealed shower unit which says I need to clean the water cartridge filter. It's 9 years old so I was considering the thermostatic valve. I can't seem to remove either! I am hoping that I don't need to remove the silver face plate as this is stuck fast to the wall! Can...
