Hello all,
We live in a duplex flat (ground floor + basement) which always has a sewage smell after it rains. We have a standard setup (bath tub; sink; toilet) and it is used daily by the family, meaning the p-traps are full.
Last year a plumber fitted a Viva Magna self sealing waste valve was...
Mira Silver EV shower cartridge fail.
Can anyone suggest why the cartridge fails after 9 to 12 months (starts to drip). Seal kit doesn’t work, tired of buying new cartridge at £130 a pop.
H/W is from a Combi boiler.
Hi all I have an old Baxi solo 2 40 boiler. the other night that there was a metal sounding twang and the pilot light went out now the boiler will not work.
You can light the pilot and that stays lit, but as soon as a load is asked of it it fires up for about 30 seconds and then it just cuts...
As the header says, I have the Main Medway Super running my water heater for bath, shower and kitchen basin etc. I don't have central heating radiators as I prefer the WarmAir system I currently have.
So, the Medway is now beyond economical repair and my fitter has advised a MultiPoint Combi to...
My plumber's quote for fitting a new boiler (Ideal Logic Max Heat only 24kw) says he will "use a power flush machine that will flush all the black dirty water once the new boiler is installed and add heating inhibitor"
Is that correct ? will it send the sludge etc into the new boiler or should...
I have a Grundfos pump attached to my UFH manifold. Noticed the floor boards below were warping and that it had been leaking ever so slightly for some time. Removed it, cleaned seals etc, tightened back up, leaked.
So bought a replacement (UPS3), with new O rings and it leaked again...
Hi Just removed an old toilet and fitted a new push button cistern one.
I had to re-route the supply water pipe over the waste pipe coming out of the back as i had to use a swan neck one to line up with waste hole in floor,and the water pipe didn't fit past waste pipe.
I cut the supply pipe...
Hi, new guy here. I've just had my annual service on my combi boiler and the mains water supply pressure appears to be lower. Is there anything they could have done to cause this?
I'm after some guidance if possible please.
I have a fortic F1 vented direct cylinder with an instant immersion and an economy 7 immersion.
A couple of weeks back I lost all hot water flow when I got up in the morning so suspected a blockage or maybe an airlock and reported it to my landlord...

Hello,
I have a had a gravity boiler replaced from a Potterton 80e to a more recent Valliant ecoplus boiler.
The cold water tank is in the loft space directly above the 1st floor bathroom and the hot water copper immersion tank is in the 1st floor bathroom cupboard space. A fairly normal...
Hi There,
I work after from home 2 weeks at a time and recently started to turn off the water supply to my flat. But on the two that I have done it on my return from my trip when I turn the water back on I get nothing. Eventually I have to call a emergency plumber who is also mystified as why...
After flushing, there is only a trickle of water entering the tank. When I turn the valve off, and then on again, it flows normally again. The upstairs toilet and all other faucets work normally.
Advice please.
I drained my open system to add x800 a couple of weeks ago and all ran smoothly. Last night I drained it all out, cleaned the tank and added inhibiter but when I have filled the system add bled all the radiators, the boiler won’t stay on.
All radiators are full, no more air...
This is a weird one, for sure... I had an old Vaillant combi replaced by a new Worcester Greenstar 4000 by Boxt.
It was as simple a job as you can imagine - direct replacement... my house is a simple 2 up 2 down semi - nothing remotely complicated.
However for the last two months since it was...
Hi everyone,
About a year ago we moved into a new property which has a towel heater as part of the Central Heating System. There are no thermostats as part of the valves, so after a quick look on google I believe it is a manual heater.
In the summer a leak developed on the left hand side...
We had a plumber fitting a shower pump a few moths ago. We had recently moved to a house in which the shower pump that was already fitted wasn't working. The hot water pressure was really bad so we looked for a plumber to fit a new shower pump. The plumber highlighted that the work done...

Good evening all,
Today I removed a bedroom radiator and capped off the ends. I started with the full works - boiler switched off, drained system, removed radiator and then filled up the system. I then bled the radiators and returned the boiler pressure back to 1.5. Turned the boiler back on...
