I have just got back from a weeks holiday, and the cold water tap on the bathroom sink is acting strangely.
When I turn it on, nothing happens for about 5 seconds, then it starts to trickle, gradually getting to full flow after about 10 seconds.
If I then turn it off and turn it on straight...
Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help. I'm not a plumber and have limited everyday DIY experience.
Last week our old trusty Bosch WF2001 washing machine packed in. The pump broke after a solid 12 year+ service and so we ordered a new Beko one from an online etailer and asked them to...

i have a client who has an old (15 yrs +) valient combi. the hot water pressure isn't brilliant, but goes worse if another hot water tap is turned on.
i realise it's a bit vague, but i havent been yet, but any info on what to look for would be most helpful.

Hi guys,
I have a heatline compact s24. The central heating works but the pressure relief pipe outside is constantly dripping warm water. I'm thinking a new PRV is needed or the expansion vessel is damaged.
Also I get a good flame picture when the heating is on but when I turn on a hot water...

Just had a client on the phone asking about the 'little plumber' water softener. This is a lady who believes all the fantastic claims that are made for herbal treatments so I am having some difficulty convincing her of my natural scepticism. Does anyone have any decent experince of these units?

As above, customer reports that when he opens hot water tap boiler rockets up to 90 odd degrees and locks out.
Now he says heating is messing about as well. he said boiler had no pressure so topped up to 1.5 and just before its locking out its going up to 3/3.5 bar.

The hot water tap of the mixer is dripping but unfortunately I can't seem to undo the tap body. Its the screw type tap. I have used wd40 and penetrating oil but it has not budged. I am using a socket to undo the tap body. Wife is nagging so I am bit desperate, any advice welcome.

When I switch on the hot water tap in the bathroom, the water starts to pulse out, then water reduces to a trickle. Have to turn tap on more fully to get more water.

Hi,
Just after a bit of advice with a really intermittent noise my combi boiler randomly makes.
It makes what I can only describe as a buzzing noise - this only ever happens when the central heating is first heating up - usually just as it gets up to temperature - 50Cish. Out of all the times...
