Looked in the airing cupbard today and notice towels wer wet. On closer examination I noticed a small drip of water from the underside of the cold water tank at the top of the airing cupbard.

I'm not sure if the water is originating from where a pipe comes from the bottom the the tank or from the tank body itself. I think the tank is original to the house (built in mid-60s) and seems to be galvanised steel and is 25 gallon.

I'm guessing wherever the water is coming from the tank is probably ready to be replaced with a modern plastic tank.

I will get some quotes from local plumbers I will choose from the Yellow pages.

Thanks for you help.

Here we go again, whatever it costs I will add on an extra 20% for whingeing pensioners, particularly if they keep telling me how old they are every five minutes.

Thank you very much for kindly directing me to the new forum rules. I wasn't aware that they existed in their current form, since I have not visited the site for some time until recently.

What a nice bunch of shining wits you all are!
