1. Bought a house with single story extension, only 10 degree pitch in the roof and it had tiles on it. Rain was getting in the tiles and leaking, but the windows never leaked. 2. Roofer recommended replacing with a felt roof, which has stopped the roof leaking totally, but now the velux...

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...

Hi. A few years ago, my parents paid a considerable amount of money to have their flat, cold, felted extesion roof into a warm, EPDM roof. It was OK at first, but a leak formed and started to drip onto the internal windowsill. Not only that, but there was water pooling in places, directly below...

Hi All, I really would appreciate advice on the following; Bathroom was completely stripped back to bare brick. Shower area was created with a small partitioned wall for water pipes to hide behind. Dry lined with water resistant plaster board. Plaster board sealed prior to professional tiler...

Hi all! I'm new this is my first post. After a couple missed years I had a first service visit by BG. The engineer said he had to fail the inspection because the filler loop leaks when the valve is opened to top up the boiler pressure he said this is because the Combined Double check & isolating...

Morning all, Any help from the experienced would be greatly appreciated. I installed a new UPVC back door (full glass pane) recently which has two slotted drain holes just below the drip bar. I think I should make it clear at this point that the drain holes are in the door, not the frame...

Morning all, I got home last night and noticed a slightly wet ceiling with water dripping from a fairly new extension (built and plumbed about 6 months ago) - had a look upstairs and couldn't see anything obvious (room above is a (second) bathroom) - no water has been used in this bathroom...

Hi, I have an Aqualisa mixer bar shower in a house I bought last summer. I've been aware that it's been leaking very slightly from the hot inlet for a while - nothing major so I hadn't got round to doing anything. Then the other morning I found that it was leaking quite badly all of a sudden...

Hi The steel drum on my Parkside wet/dry vac slowly leaks. Can anyone suggest a waterproof sealant brand that would be ideal to keep the vac going for another year or so? Thanks!

Hi all, The hot tap on my bath has started leaking quite severely. Done a fair bit of research and looks like the washer just needs replacing. My problem is that, after removing the handle cap, when I uncover the screw the thread has completely been eroded. Tried normal phillips, electric...

I have a three year old Hotpoint washing machine. After a full day's laundry it is sitting in perhaps half a cup of water on the floor, directly underneath. I took the top off and I put some detergent in the drawer then ran it on rinse cycle. When finished I looked from the top and the bottom...

Hi. New to this forum so please be gentle! The sink in my bathroom has been dripping lately, getting a bit worse over the last week. I was going to take the handles off and replace washers but I'm having a problem getting the handles off. Any suggestions? It says "PJH02" on the back of the tap...

Hi Good Morning, I got a bathtub drain leaking. As pictures shown, i tried with PT around thread and really tighten it hard but worry to break the plastic pipe, however it still leaks. Any other option that i should approach? Should use a paste instead? >Arrow pointing at the leaking stops.

Hi there, This is my first post on the forum, nice to meet you all! I have just bought my first house, apart from all the sockets falling off the walls it all seemed okay until Monday. It rained overnight and I woke up to a large damp patch around my bedroom window. It hasn't rained since...

Not sure it this is the best place to post this. I have moved into a 10 year old and the bath seal is failing and leaking. I've tried a temporary fix of applying a thin bead of silicone not ideal but it's still leaking. I don't like these bath seals but I don't want to removed any tiles as the...

the back door has been fitted to some timber, which I believe was part of the old wooden door frame. This has become rotten at the base and is allowing water penetration. (See attached images) I was going to remove the door and replace this timber with treated CLS, refit the door and clad...
