    For some time our shower pump, which also pumps the bathroom sink taps, has had to be topped up with air every 6 months.

    Hello all We have a Trevi Moonshadow shower which has suddenly become tricky to control. The knob only needs to be turned a tiny bit and it becomes too cool or too hot. It has always been responsive and easy to select the temperature we prefer. When the water is used downstairs it is affecting...

    Stuart Turner pump problem

    We have a Stuart Turner pump misbehaving. When you turn the taps or shower on in the bathroom there has been a hesitation before the water comes out for quite some time. This has now got much worse and it takes about 10 seconds for water to start to flow at the taps. Why is the pump taking time...

    Shower pump issue?

    We have a Monsoon pump in the airing cupboard for our shower. Just lately when we turn the shower on there has been a hesitation before the water comes out. Just a slight hesitation initially but now 3 or 4 seconds. Is it on the way out? No fall in pressure that we've noticed. Any suggestions?

    Silicone on glass hob

    Not my disaster and probably not a disaster for some but the end of a long line during kitchen refit. Fitter has smeared clear silicone on my beautiful, shiny induction hob and it won't rub off. WD40 has been suggested but will it turn things into a worse probkem?

    Wrong kitchen tap

    I foolishly purchased a Hansgrohe single lever mixer 260 tap for my new fitted kitchen. Apparently we have a gravity fed system so all I get when using hot water is a poor stream. Cold is OK as mains fed. Returning the tap and buying another really isn't an option. I thought very carefully about...

We are planning a new kitchen and need to relocate the washing machine (to make better use of available space in what is a small kitchen) into the said cupboard. Do rules and Regs prevent us...

    New boiler - ticking rads with hot water only

    Had a new Ideal Logic System boiler fitted recently following final meltdown of old boiler. Following fitting we had loads of air in system which I've slowly got rid of by bleeding bit by bit and awful running water sounds as though rads are half empty when heat switched on. Water fizzing in one...

    Losing pressure on Ideal Icos

    Pressure kept dropping on our Ideal Icos boiler (gone from every few weeks to weekly, now daily). Each morning the heating doesn't come on because it's below 1 on the gauge. I top up and we get heat until it drops again. Plumber finally had to re pressurise the expansion tank last week. He...
