Hi All, Finally realised that a plumber would be too expensive and decided to tackle the job on my own. I have cut the pipe in the cloakroom and downstairs in the bathroom and managed to pull it up trough the partition wall. Dropped a new pipe downstairs trough the wall again and fixed it to...

Hi, That's the problem, in all the visible locations I believe that the pipe is fine , unfurtunately it also goes behind a partition wall which is tiled and I'm not very keen to take this down as it might be more expensive to put right than the actual plumber would charge. This is why I would...

Hi Guys, I actually had a plumber coming round last evening and he spent almost 2 hours trying to find the cause but couldn't. He said that in 20 years of plumbing he hasn't seen anything like it (told you it was bizarre). The fix would be to run a new HW pipe and bypass the length that we...

Hi Onetap, Thanks for the advise, unfortunately I've got a combi boiler so there's no water storage tank or HW cylinder and again there are no service valves (none that I can see) between the cloackroom and the bathroom downstairs. There is definately something lurking about in that lenght of...

Hi Guys, Thank for the advice. I have actually tried flushing the system as per Tony's instructions and had no luck. When running water from the Cold tap to the Hot one in the bathroom (an yes the hot one was open as well :roll: ) I wold get the same trickle of water coming out in the...

Thanks for that Tony, I'll add this to my list of things to try for tonight. Hopefully it will cure the problem. Sicca

Hi Tony, The house is quite old and been converted to two maisonettes back in 2004. Sorry for the confusion, when I said "new house" it was because it's new to me :roll: . Thank you

Hi PlumbGas, All the service valves that are visible seem to work fine, what I can't find is any valves from the cloakroom to the bathroom downstairs. Surely any responsible plumber wouldn’t have buried them under the floor or partition walls. I will take your advice though and replace the...

Both the bath tap and the sink tap have the same issue, it would be too much of a coincidence, but just to make sure I have fitted new taps on the sink and I haven’t seen absolutely any improvement.

Hi there, We have recently moved to a new house and it seems that we have a very odd problem with the hot water pressure in the main bathroom. The house has a ground floor with kitchen (where a combi boiler is installed) and a cloakroom. In the basement we have the main bathroom. The...
