Hi all

Moved in to a new house a few months ago. The previous owner had installed an accessible wetroom with nonslip flooring, handrails, etc. We've been using it but have started to notice that some of the floor tiles make a squelching sound when you tread on them and a little water emerges from between the tiles. I'm sure that's not what is meant to happen! It also looks like there are some wet marks on the ceiling below. So we've stopped using it for now.

I'm a complete novice so would appreciate any advice about what we could do. Is it possible that regrouting is all that's needed? Or does it need a more thorough inspection? Do we need a tiler or a specialist wetroom installer to sort this out? Help!
 
It’s fecked and needs to be ripped out and started again sorry to say
 
The very least is take up the loose tiles and redo, but it’s not a good sign and usually means that nothing has been done properly and it usually ends up as a rip out and redo.

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

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
