Thanks again Rob. I will certainly give it a go.

Thanks loads for the reply Rob. I can get to the valve, just by slicing through the silicon holding the chrome face/coverplate to the wall and removing it, so accessibility shouldn't be that much of an issue. Could it be a case of stripping, cleaning/descaling, and refitting the piston? Or are...

I have a dull thermostatic shower valve question. My daughter is complaining that when she turns her shower off to shampoo her hair (It's a small shower), and then back on again to continue showering, it’s gone cold, regardless of the fact that there's still residual hot water in the pipe...

I see. It seems it's not a terribly isolated problem. If you manage to find them a reasonable solution I'd like to hear how that goes.

1000 year old pipes! Wow. I did hear that some of Bath's sewage system is still using Roman routing but I thought that was just a local story. As for the loft tank, that definitely is an option though sadly since doing a loft conversion, we no longer have a loft. Also, I'm a bit sketchy about...

Ok. I see. Seeing as the main comes from a side road and travels underneath the row of 4 houses to get here, digging a new specific main would be ridiculously expensive. And if a pump can't be soundproofed reliably, or be trusted to steal other's pressure then it looks like I'm screwed, as I...

Cheers for the advice Gasservice1985. I did wonder about if it'd take water from the neighbours. One review on Amazon (for the pump suggested above) I saw was from a chap in the same 'end of a rank of 4 with shared main' situation. His similar concern over stealing water turned out to be...

Thanks for the advice guys. The accumulator seems like a perfect silent solution, but as you say Simond for one that can cater for an entire house (not just a combi), they're prohibitively expensive at upwards of £1000. The pump idea seems far more acceptable on the pocket. Having looked at...

Hi all. Was hoping somebody could advise about low water pressure. Our house is at the end of a run of 4 houses that was originally just one, and hence all share the same water main. As a result, for example, if using the shower, and the 3 neighbours upstream run a tap each, then our shower...
