Hi, I have a two-pipe fully pumped S plan open vented system. When I drained it last time, I had the impression there is some sludge or dirt around it. I therefore am going to drain it again to install a magnetic filter. I was thinking of taking this chance to add a tee on the feed pipe (the...

Hi, I have a Zanussi Dishwasher ZDF2020 that is flashing an error on the led's. Manual says the drain is blocked. However, if I fill the washer with 2 kettles of water and reset/start a cycle the water is drained out as normal, 5 seconds of whoosh then reduces to a trickle. So the pump must be...

I am looking to put a patio down. As you can see from the photo there are two pipes close to the house. The patio will be one brick down from the DPC, so 75 - 85mm, and I thought I would put an Aco Linear Drain up against the wall so the top of the drain is level with the patio, one brick...

We have recently moved into our home 1880s built terrace. I have noticed our rear rainwater drain gulley has a few cracks in! After a good clean and scrub it seems to only be the clay top cracked and the inlet spout is in tact with no cracks. Ideally I dont want to have to dig up garden to...

A drain in my mansion block has disconnected and needs to be put back together (picture attached). This results in a noisy leak. We'be been quoted scaffolding only costs of over £1000. Is this right? It's on the 3rd floor of a property. Access from the window might be possible, but I only...

Hi folks, So I've got a leaking waste pipe from the rubber seal of my bathroom. The house is only 5yrs old and was built by somebody that didn't seem to care on a lot of detail (bit housing company, I'll skip my rant but it involves faulty heating installations, radiators not plumbed correctly...

Hi, a builder was looking at my house the other day and looked at the grid next to the house , and said he thought it had dropped. It looks quite low in comparison to the concrete around it, which also has holes in. If i push on each side it wobbles, however if i lift the grid i can see water. I...

Hi, my house is Victorian, so all the pipe gutters etc are quite old. I’ve noticed some cracks in the drain gulley (hope this is the correct term)- see attached. I’m guessing I need to get these fixed but does anyone have any idea of the scale of the job? Is it a simple case of filling them in...

Hello, I've got a Hoover frost-free fridge freezer, just over a year old, model HVBF5182WK. The drain hole in the bottom of the freezer is frozen/blocked and as a result the drain water is now forming ice under the bottom drawer. It's not a big problem and it should be an easy fix to...

Hi, I have a steep sloping drive, where it flattens slightly there’s a large manhole cover next to a drain grid, which is set higher, leaving a gap for muck and leaves to go down. It gets driven over so needs to be better really. Could anybody please tell me what’s the best way of sorting it ...

Hi! I live in rented accommodation and have an issue with my bath not draining quickly enough. I’ve taken off the trap and checked for blockages and there isn’t anything there. Also pushed a drain cleaner down the waste pipe and nothing obvious in the way. I did notice that the although the...

Hello, I have a dishwasher installed in a wall of a 120cm wide corridor. On the same wall there is gully and so there is a pipe going to the gully on the floor. See the picture. Now I need to move the dishwasher on the wall in front. So the pipe would cross the corridor and therefore it must...

I recently got ground floor piping extended to have drain (40mm leading to the stack as in the figure), hot and cold in a first floor room. Only the pipes are there, but I'd like to install a sink and a washing machine as from the (quite schematic) diagram. Note that the washing machine will...
