    Leaking pastic soil pipe stack cover

    Installed when the house was built in the 70's. Does anyone know where can I get a replacement cover ? (or gasket) ? It's not the same shape as ones I've seen online with 4 fixing screws, it has a centre bolt to remove the cover. Cheers

    Leaking Flue pipe from Boiler

    Hi all, Had a plumber come round today to service our boiler and it turns out he's had to turn it off as unsafe due to some water leaking on the outside of the flue pipe.

    Advice on leaking waste pipe connector

    Hi, Really hoping someone could advice me on a leak issue I'm having. We have a macerator type set up for our ensuite, that joins to the main soil pipe in the loft. The connector where the pipe from macerator meets the main soil pipe is not water tight, and therefore excess water is flowing...

    URGENT Leaking hot water cylinder pipe

    Hi I have a leak from one of the pipes, going into the hot water cylinder, in the airing cupboard.

    Hi all I have a Bristan shower fitted which is leaking from the bar valve and from the removable shower head. On the bar valve the leak seems to be coming from the white seal.

    Looks like the bath plug is leaking...

    It looks as though the bath plug is leaking even though the water is dripping further up the basin as it were (i.e. in the direction of the overflow pipe/towards the camera) and not from the area immediately around the plug. I'm not too confident in replacing the plug (visions of flooding after...

It’s only 2 years old (when property was renovated) and suspect it could be due to thermal cycling with the cold weather. Access is restricted as the pipe work was put behind a plywood...
