    Loft insulation over the top of condensate pipe?

    Not easily because the pipe has been capped of with a aav on the floor below. Maybe this is could be a plan going forward though..

    Radiator problem/question?

    Hi, I have noticed that if I turn off a particular radiator (its the hottest radiator in the house) the other radiators seem to struggle to get to temperature. If I turn that one back on everything goes back to normal but still this one is always the hottest. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks

    Loft insulation over the top of condensate pipe?

    Unfortunately it 100% doesn't go to the soil pipe

    Loft insulation over the top of condensate pipe?

    All the other pipes are fine but I am lagging everything I can see up there. Also the section I could see was not frozen so I can only assume it was as it exits the roof.

    Loft insulation over the top of condensate pipe?

    Hi all, I've not long moved into our current house and I have had the condensate pipe freeze during this recent weather so I am trying to help prevent it for next time. (It didn't freeze in the last sub zero spell of weather so I can only assume the wind didn't help) Currently it is draining...

    My toilet keeps blocking

    Hi all, I thought I would update this in case anyone else has the same issue. It turns out sammathias was correct, there was a partial block somewhere on the line. About 1 month later (when I noticed anyway) our outside drain gully started backing up and slowly draining away (this links to...

    My toilet keeps blocking

    Yeah I kind of think the same but because we have a shared manhole (next door) it is making it much harder to diagnose unfortunately. How do drains companies usually clean drains? Jet from outside or could they also do it via the air admittance valve? Could I use a snake or something from the...

    My toilet keeps blocking

    Right guys so to update this. The toilet last night blocked again but this time I couldn't plunge it out!! Anyway after some investigation it turns out we have a HomeServe policy which covers this. Their plumber came out this morning and after pulling the toilet out he couldn't find a block...

    My toilet keeps blocking

    Is it straight forward to do, removing a toilet? do I need to prepare my self with anything other than the obvious? Wax ring?

    My toilet keeps blocking

    No, its the same toilet. I'll get a picture of it. This has crossed my mind but I am 99% sure I didn't do this.... and even still surely it wouldn't last this long

    My toilet keeps blocking

    I sealed this shower literally the day before but I cannot see how it could be related? other than that nothing... Gap between shower frame and tray? Initially the shower and bath did cause the toilet to "gurgle" when it was blocked (doesn't seem to do it anymore though) but after some...

    My toilet keeps blocking

    Hi guys, I have been having an issue with my toilet blocking for the last few days and I am hoping someone with some experience can offer some advice. The toilet seems to block over time (1-2 days) It can be solids or toilet paper, it doesn't seem to matter. I can always plunge it out but it...

    Utility tap has a small leak from the handle

    I did turn it off and on a few times to test it which it didn't leak but next time I have access to it I will use the tape or a o-ring on it. Also it only has a washing machine connected to it so hopefully I will not need to touch it for a few years (until it stops working)
