leak

Hello all. I've just fitted an old cast-iron bell type cistern. After being in a week it has developed a weep in the cast iron at the bottom shelf , not the bell reservoir. It's only a small weep which you can't see a hole when you wipe it dry. My plan is to use JB Waterweld to "weld" a sheet...

Hi all, First time post so please be gentle. Trying to ascertain if damp wall in our kitchen is being causes by rising damp or by a seeping pipe. The pipe in the image attached disappears off under our solid kitchen floor (back addition of a 1890's Victorian terrace). The other end disappears...

I have an odd issue with my Aqualisa shower system. I’m not sure which system this is but I’m attaching photos of the Logic Module. This morning the shower wouldn’t turn on and the only way for me to get it to work was to turn off and then back on the logic module in the loft. Later on, my wife...

I had a wetroom fitted three years ago as part of a full refurb that has leaked on and off ever since. It was professionally installed and tanked. The contractor has come back and siliconed the interface between the tiles and the shower tray waste multiple times but this doesn't fix the problem...

Hi, I've got a cast iron downpipe which has a section with an access hatch. The bolts on the hatch door have been corroded over time and have broken off, so it leaks quite a bit in the rain. I've tied it back on for the moment with some string, but looking for a better fix without having to...

Hi Recently our bathroom shower has been leaking water into the hallway below (just a tiny bit of water randomly not everytime we shower). This happened over a year ago and we had a guy redo the sealant and it stopped. Today I finally got round to redoing the sealant. But as I started to remove...

We have a sink tap where the rubber washer between it and the sink has degraded and causes a slight leak into the cupboard below. All very straightforward so far. But since that started, the tap can be twisted left or right and water is ALSO definitely leaking from the nut in picture 2. This...

Hi all So I noticed a leak in my en suite, and upon removing the sink unit that was up against the wall/shower glass (poor design), it uncovered a lot of wet and a mass of absolute bodge by whoever fitted it. The tiles don't meet the floor and there's gaps everywhere, i've cleaned it up but it...

We have water coming into the room below the roof on the sides of the room when it rains. I'm unable to climb onto the roof to take a closer look as it is too high and I don't have access from below. I've taken a look at the roof from the window above and the flashing looks a bit suspicious -...

Hi all I had a burst pipe in the utility last year which resulted in me taking a kitchen cupboard off the wall to access the pipe. The wall was a wet and it left a big hole where the fixing was for the kitchen cupboard. There is now a big hole in the plasterboard which I now need to fill so I...

Our toilet is leaking (dripping) at pan connector/waste pipe when flushed. We are getting a full bathroom refit in May so need a short term fix in the meantime - can I just use sealant or is there something else we can do in the meantime?

Hello, we've recently moved into a Victorian mid-terrace house and have become concerned about the number and size of the cracks throughout the property. We had a level 3 survey done before we moved in and they didn't flag anything concerning but caveated that as usual so I don't fully trust...

Hello, I’m looking for some advice.. we’ve recently moved into a new property and have noticed that the soil pipe external to the house is leaking every time the toilet is flushed. It’s partially covered by decking but we can see clearly above the part above decking and have tested it so we...

Hi, I have a bay window which appears to leak in heavy rain from the top frame - see pics which show droplets of water which have trickled down between the frame joint ( this joint is roughly where the mortar line is on the outside) and overnight it ends up leaving a huge pool of water on the...

Hi, Our conservatory is leaking and its proving a challenge to figure out where its coming from. Where the external wall meets the conservatory there is an aluminum drainage channel. It seems to have a join there which I believe is where the leak is happening so I want to fix this first. I'm...

Good evening, I have a leaking window in a conservatory, it appears to be leaking out of the bottom left of the frame. I checked and there are no drainage or weep holes I think this is correct for non opening windows. I checked another non leaking frame and it also did not have any weep holes...

We have an issue with our oil tank that's driving me nuts! The oil is burning faster than it did this time last year and I cannot work out why this is happening. Our setup includes: - 2500 ltr oil tank with Apollo Ultrasonic meter reader - a Camray Quartet oil boiler which has dual zone...

Hello, Can anyone help, I have a leak on my boiler, which looks like its coming from the nut on the hotwater connection pipe. My question is - Is it easy to replace, looks like one end just push fits and the other is just tighten the nut? Empty the system first? Thanks Pete

Hi all, We found out a red little puddle under the radiator and I found the source. The radiator has been bleed so no air in it. 09 is a picture from the bottom of the radiator,14 is where the leak is coming from, the top of the radiator and 30 is to give a little bit more of context where it's...

Hi all, I bought a home in March 2023 and noticed recently after heavy rain that the front entrance to the property is allowing water to enter above the front door. From the photos attached, I have shown the front door and the square shaped entrance. I have attached photos from the outside...
