Top man, thank you

I'm almost certain the back pressure is the problem. After doing a bit more research I have a hissing tap and no non return valves fitted on the mixers. Is the hissing tap the faulty mixer or could that just be a symptom? After a plumber flooded my kitchen from.the main 3 times I'm reluctant to...

It looks like the t&p valve is rated at 7 bar. All the taps in the house are mixers.

Thanks John, hopefully all the below makes sense and shows things a little clearer

Thanks John, ive attached more pics. Whats reqlly strabge is the thermostat on the hw was turned down. I turned it up and put the hot water heater on but nothing leaking. Its almost random.the incoming water to the property is at the kitchen with little to no.space to fit a prv. What are my...

There's a valve on the drain which is odd but it's open so no issues. Could the problems be caused by an unbalanced supply? Mains pressure is 7-7.5bar, no other prv fitted on incoming mains. If that is an issur how can the system be balanced? Is this done via the inlet valve?

Here you go Bod, rated at 7bar and 90c

Long story short I've had issues with the hot water tank leaking either from the tundish, from the fittings or now from the element. It's 8 years old, both the prv and t&p have been replaced, expansion vessel tested and repressurised but the problems won't go away. After both hot and cold water...

Baxi aren't interested, although it's leaking from a factory fit part they are willing to do nothing.

It's only 6-7 years old in a soft water area. Yes it's been maintained. The alternative is knocking down walls and £1000+ for a new cylinder plus install It's a william wilson 250ltr tank which I believe comes with a 25 year no leak warranty. Anyone any experience with this?

Hi, I've noticed a bit of damp under my hot water cylinder. After a bit of investigation I saw water staining coming from the boiler controls. Im guessing this isnt good. Is this a new tank or can the immersion be reseated? As theres water at the top of the cover im guessing its steam escaping...

Cheers madrab. That's what I thought. Will see if I can do the cup / fire test. Water looks clean but it's only what comes out of the bleed valve. System is only 5 years old. Can I just add inhibitor or should I get the system flushed?

Hi All, I'm aware this has been discussed a lot previously but couldn't find anything exact. I have a closed loop central heating system. 2 radiators upstairs, one towel and one standard, fill with air frequently. By frequently I mean I have to take the air out once a week. If I leave it for a...

Hi, I know this has been asked before but just wanted to sanity check this. The plaster cracked above the stove so peeled back and the board us just brittle. Is that because it's just standard plaster board? what's the best way to repair this so it won't crack again? Thanks

Sorry should have put an emoji after that suggestion, not going to do that ⚡️

It is a thing, found an Eon chat about it. Apparently lining your consumer unit with tin foil helps

I really want the cheap ev tariff so it's my only option sadly.

Hi Folks, My consumer unit is around 5 years old max and I'm being told its not compatible with the new generation of smart meters. Anyone else have or heard of this problem? From Fuse energy - Our meter operator has told us that if a smart meter is installed with one of these consumer units...

Tbf there was only a dry stain but since his visit appears to be leaking now. As you said probably down to pressure. I've noticed a slight increase especially when I first turn on the hw tap. As I said I'm limited in choice here, there are only 2 plumbers in the area and one wouldn't respond so...

From the t&p valve, does the valve potentially just need refitting?
