Well, it's been a while. I now know that the smell is wind related (as in the weather). When the wind gets up we get the smell in the upstairs rooms and mainly when the small windows are open in the bedroom. No wind, no smell? We live very close to the sea at sea level and I'm wondering if the...

Yes, as per original note.................. they do not suffer with the same issue.

No plants, cheers.

Yes, definitely none of the above. No vermin or dead anything. Just had bathroom completely replaced and all is good with pipework and traps. Smell has been around for a couple of years on and off....seems to be wind related but can't be sure. Flue definitely still open above the roof where it...

Morning Nige....no still no answer and it was pretty bad last night hence the re-plea for help. I think the downstairs floor is concrete....when we moved in, it had a ceramic tiled floor in the living room (last owner wanted it to have a continental feel??) which we have just carpeted over.

Morning all, We've been experiencing an intermittent strong 'cabbagey' smell in our bedroom for a couple of years now. We can go for days without smelling anything and then other days it's quite noticeable? The other bedroom adjacent to ours can also sometimes have the same smell and the loft...

Thank you for the responses so far. I will look into whether we have an AAV fitted and assess its condition. This will probably have to be the weekend now? The soil stack is located between two internal walls and exits through the roof. The kitchen is at the opposite end of the house on...

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong forum but thought it would be closest? I have a rotten cabbage smell in only one upstairs bedroom which can be quite pungent some days and then completely gone on other days? No other room in the house has this smell. Now, before you ask, the house is very...

Think you guys may have hit the nail on the head. Boiler just refired so I went to the pump. Pipes above pump are hot but pipes below are cold ! If you put your hand on the pump there is a very faint vibration there even when the boiler is off but pipes below remain cold. Switch on side of pump...

Thanks MickyG. I have a Honeywell motorised valve which I can hear work when I switch on the Honeywell water cylinder stat clamped to the cylinder. The room stat is a Honeywell one with older linear temp gauge and I can hear this click as the lever is moved. The pump is a Comet 2-130. Whole...

Hello, I have a Glow Worm Hideaway 50 BF permanent pilot fitted in a circuit which is open to atmosphere (header tank in cupboard). The issue is that it fires up for only about 2 to 3 mins and then the burner turns off but the pilot remains alight. It will then sit dorment for about half an...
