I was ripping out a bathroom today and when taking apart the bath trap I saw the below on the end of the pipe as it joined the trap. I have never seen anything like it
before. Bathroom was probably 25yo. Is it something that happened back in the day?
I have no cold water from the kitchen tap, the tap is a mixer tap which is about three years old. I do however have cold water in the other taps in the house (both up and downstairs). It is a "quarter turn" tap and there is no sign of any leaking from it. The hot water from it works fine
Can I...

Hi, I was wondering I could have some advice please?
My upstairs bathroom tap (cold) takes a few seconds (5 or 6 seconds) to come on when I open it up. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the cause please? Many thanks

I've been using the superseal types on 10mm pipe recently (belt and braces), however I have just got back from the merchants to discover they have given me the standard ones without the O ring, I'm considering whether to use them or not worrying whether the joints might fail in the future if I...

Dose anybody know of other manufactures of this type of fire or had experience of...

shower head ring insert?
are they standard sizes or do i need a particular meynell item?
Well, we all know it doesn't. Or rather, you can mostly get away with the pipe only just inserting into fitting when in a tough situation.
Whether it be copper into compression or end feed or waste pipe into fittings I've yet to have a leak when circumstances force me to insert only a little...
