Hi there. I'm trying to work out how to isolate the water in my flat, so I can fix a leaking shower tap. My flat has a heating interface unit (HIU), which is being fed by various pipes - see photo. I'm not sure though what pipes I should / can isolate to stop the flow, can anyone provide any advice? Cold water is simple, there is a lever labelled for 'cold water isolation valve', which works fine. However, there's no equivalent for hot water, and I'm a bit worried about just turning them all off as there's quite a bit of pressure in the system. I can't find any valves on the pipes leading to the shower to isolate, so I need to do this centrally. Thanks for any advice.

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

Hello all, I'm would like to extend an existing outside tap to another point in the garden. I'm about to pour a concrete patio and was hoping to run the water line underneath. There are existing drain (and who knows what) pipes running along the same wall so I'm nervous about digging too far...
