This issue arose about a year ago. Does anyone have an idea why I occasionally hear (about once every hour or longer) a hammer related noise coming from my copper water pipes when no water is being used? It basically sounds like the noise you hear after the water shuts off when your toilet bowl...
Hi, would anyone like to hazard a guess at what's causing this problem on the ground floor of our house? As you can see, the bottom of both sides of the door frame are wet. The doorway is nowhere near any windows and is positioned pretty much in the centre of the house. Could this be water...
Hi I need some advice as this has been ongoing since august and nobody can find a problem but meantime water is damaging my walls.
The lady upstairs had a plumber in July who relocated her washbasin shower and fitted a new radiator.He caused a bad leak and came to fix it in august and I thought...
In my last posting, I requested assistance in exchanging a waste that had been fitted using silicone, without actually removing the basin. Mission accomplished. However, I now have a further issue for which I would welcome any suggestions or advice.
I decided to replace the McAlpine Pedestal...
Hello. Have nasty whiff emanating from the bath drain I think. When the nearby sink drains down there's a popping sound coming...from the bathplug. No amount of cleaning the bath drain by pouring stuff down makes any difference...it's always just glugging away when the sink is draining. The...
Hi all! We had low pressure in our Potterton boiler (gas) and the guy who serviced it recommended to try Oxypic. We did that last weekend and re-filled the water making sure it was turned off. However the water has started to increase and now it’s in the red (too high pressure). Any idea what’s...
Hi, We live in a bungalow. We are awaiting a plumber to check for water hammer but not sure if there are other things that may be causing the noises in our property. There is a booming noise about every 10 seconds followed by an echo. It starts at random times during the day and continues well...
I have a B&B that has had lots of plumbing issues in the past e.g. hot water to a toilet! I am fed up of spending money so hoping someone can help as several plumbers so far have been hopeless. The latest problem is that I had an electric shower replaced because it was cycling between scalding...

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...

My Worcester cdi 30 conventional boiler makes this very loud noise frequently, sometimes vibrates the house:
Not sure what's causing it but I've been able to make it happen by having both heating and hot water on at the same time, then turning the room thermostat down so that just the HW is...
Hi All
I've had to replace my cistern bolts recently as they had become rusted and were starting to crumble and cause leaks. After replacing the bolts, I've been getting a consistent leak out of the right side bolt. I took the bolts off to check if I did anything wrong and it seems like the...
Sprinkler system with a 1/2 horse pump works fine for over 25 years, This year as it is pumping to the 4 zones which is working fine with normal pressure, the shower head in my upstairs bath is now leaking water from the head. The water is turned off as normal but the water is coming out of the...
If Isolating a boiler to determine if the leak is on the pipework or the boiler. If pressurising to 1.5bar then isolating the flow and return for an overnight test. Is it still acceptable to use the combi boiler for hot water? Expansion vessel located in the boiler.
The main circuit board has gone 3 times in the last 3 months after heavy rain. I have a maintenance contract with British Gas but they will not keep replacing the board FOC. How can I stop his happening? The boiler is 7 years old and I have not had this problem until recently so what will have...
Hi all, can someone tell me what causes this noise from the boiler?
It typically starts in the morning when the boiler has not been very active over night.
It is a Worcester greenstar 15ri
Apologies for bad quality sound recording.
Thanks.
Hi everyone I’m a newbie 😊. I’m a landlord and one of my tenants has been complaining about an intermittent noise which I think may be coming from a neighbour upstairs but I’m not sure...does anyone recognise what might be causing the noise? It sounds like pipes banging and happens at random...

Have a strange leak coming from a newly installed bathroom sink drain

I run the water in the sink for several minutes and there are no leals detected from the drain and its J trap connections.
When I check back...
