leaking

My flat garage roof has been leaking and lack of funds means I'm having to tarp it. I have a load of old bricks so I was thinking of loose-laying a couple of courses down the centre then putting the tarp over thus forming a tent. The idea is that the tarp will last longer as any rainwater...

Hi, I have bought a new kitchen overflow and want to connect it to the waste. Plastic flexihose is inserted into the compression with rubber washer and all tightened up. But no matter what I do, it leaks at that joint when water goes down the plughole from washing up etc. The flexihose is new...

I've got an old cast iron panel radiator that I've recently had stripped and repainted. On piping up it has a weeping leak from the bleed screw at the top. Taking the screw out and cleaning up I could see the screw thread has a notch in it and the hole that it screws into also has notches in...

Hi all. Apologies if my question is obvious to some/most! I am fumbling in the dark here. Am a new home owner, and have a leaky hot tap in the upstairs bathroom. More specifically, we have a 1901 Bristan pillar bath/shower tap, and water is leaking from the spindle on the hot tap. I can't see...

My kitchen tap is leaking on both the cold and hot taps but more so on the hot and I’ve fallen at the first hurdle. I can’t figure out how to take it apart to see if it’s the washers. No branding other than the kitchen was bought from howdens. Can anyone advise? Pictures below. Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys So I had my shed/garage roof replaced 3 months ago. The guys who did it were to put bluntly, cowboys, who mugged me off and did a half hearted job and are now nowhere to be seen. i have tried to chase them up, but no luck. messages ignored and numbers changed i presume. Anyway, i'm...

Hi, I've got a Triton Zante Shower - approx 15 yrs old and still going strong with no problems until recently I noticed that I get drips from the showerhead even when the power is off. The only way to stop the dripping is to isolate the water supply which is pretty inconvenient. Is this...

It only leaks when I turn it on is the first relevant point. I searched google and youtube and it seems people advise putting ptfe tape round the threads. Secondly it only effects the cold water supply. Thirdly the landlord claims there's no external stopcock and whoever installed it put it so...

Hi All Helping an elderly neighbour of mine. When she uses the handwash basin in the bathroom (1st floor, back of house), quite a bit of water is leaking out from the exterior pipe that runs into a drain. I haven't been able to get onto a ladder to get a closer look, just got a few pics from...

Hi all, I recently had a plumber out to fix my unvented indirect cylinder which keeps losing pressure. Unfortunately he didn’t fix the issue and caused a leak instead. I’ve noticed the issue seems to be the auto air vent which leaks when I re-pressurise it. I have bought the part can I just...

I bought a property in August 2018. A month ago, so far twice during heavy rain and wind, the water started to leak above the kitchen window. There is a small gap between the window and the wall and water is coming through there. I marked this with yellow on the pictures 05 and 06. At first, I...

Toilet is leaking from this pipe and I’m not really sure how to fix it. Before going to a plumber I thought I’d come here to get any tips on how to fix it. Someone came to put a floor in and he moved the toilet when doing this. But since then the toilet started leaking.

We moved into this house a year ago and soon discovered that there was a leak in the wall when the shower diverter is set to the wall shower head, rather than the dumper head. Through trial and error, we have discovered that the concealed shower model is a Hudson Reed Clio A3025 which has an...

Hi, I have a Worcester green Star combi 30si. The component which I believe is the flue going outside the garage from boiler has a leak at two of the joints as you can possibly see in the attached pic. Simple question, is this a DIY'able fix or is it compulsory for this to be seen to by a...

Could somebody tell me how to remove the plastic circlip and rubber washer from a leaking flush pipe connection at the bottom of a Geberit low height concealed cistern? Also is it possible to do this with the cistern and WC in situ?

We have a garage with an unfinished apartment above it which has a balcony. Whoever built it did not put a slope to drain the water. Its down to plywood as the flooring. In the past we have had a tarp over the balcony nailed to the railing and side of the garage but snow, heavy rains and wind...

Hi, My towel radiator valve is leaking from the centre where it screws in rather than from the pipe or radiator joints. I've seen plenty of articles/videos on how to use a "string" of PTFE to pack a gland on a standard radiator valve but I can't find anything on these now common towel radiator...
