    Newly fitted isolation valve keeps leaking

    I think it's indicative that more threads are showing on the bottom nut than the top, did you use the correct olive on the bottom of the isolation valve, way forward is to change the fitting with the respective correct olive's, will be difficult if you have necked the copper pipe by over...

    How adjust ballcock in my attic

    Before you do any of the above push the float down below the water level to flush what may be a bit of dirt on the washer, note you will get water flowing out of the overflow which in turn may impact a path and in this weather may freeze and become a hazard.

    A leak I cannot get to! What to do in this situation!?

    Looks as though its a back to the wall pan, suggest you draw around the pan onto the wall to see how much you can cut away after removing the pan for access.

    A leak I cannot get to! What to do in this situation!?

    If it is a hole in the cistern than drill out to size of a SS nut and bolt and rubber washer on both sides will cure it.

    New Riello rdb oil pump not working.

    Mains Cold Water Supply - Think I had a cowboy plumber at my house !

    Interesting read though, only one person asked how much pressure the OP had at the Kitchen sink, answer was high, but most then still told the OP that the problem with low pressure upstairs was probably the stopcock and it needed changing?

    Best £750 Aquataps or £2000 Quooker Tap £1000 Verana Tap What's Best?

    Have I got this right, for the Quooker tap to do all it's supposed too it needs a boiler, CO2 cylinder and a refrigeration unit installed and obviously a power supply all in the cabinet under the sink?

    Low pressure mixer spray tap recommendations ?

    Most mixer spray taps are designed for mains pressure hot feed, you may find a pressure/flow booster is required for the tap of choice, look for one with slip joints to enable easy fitting without taking your hot water system apart.

    Atkinson tank top oil feed

    Tank if forty years old so think it's out of warranty by now, but thanks for your concern. 🤔 Just in case, it is not porous and has not UV degraded. 😇

    Atkinson tank top oil feed

    Only on steel and possibly modern twin wall tanks, on single skin plastic tanks you have to drill your own 30mm hole and screw the outlet down onto the gasket supplied. See here, think I have posted this before: Fitting The Atkinson Tanktop -...

    Atkinson tank top oil feed

    Are the floats prone to getting caught on the sides of oil tanks? specifically those without internal struts and round, what would be the best place to instal one in a round tank, central is not an option due to the lid, one side near the external brace is my preference due to the availability...
