Newbie so please go easy!
Recently our cold water upstairs ran out and eventually the hot water as well. Called Severn Trent out after the kitchen ran out once. They checked and said it was nothing to do with the mains supply.
Anyway eversince then we have had mixed supply, some days it is fine other days it is very limited however the kitchen now seems fine.
Went up to the loft myself (novice at plumbing) and found the cold water storage tank nearly empty and the bit that fills it dripping. Noticed another smaller tank above and to the right covered with plastic and it was warmer water. Realised the plastic was resting on the float so moved that.
After a while fiddling and proding in both tanks the water suddenly started coming in the cold water tank and cut out when the float reached the top (so that must be OK). But since then the supply is nearly nothing again?
Anyone any ideas.....please.....young kid needs a bath and missus is giving me hell!!!
