    Bathtub fills up for a bit when running water and then drains normally

    Hi all, I am a newbie DIYer and have a question I was hoping someone might be able to help me with. When we run the water in our bathtub it drains very slowly at the start, as if it is clogged or something, and then after a minute or two it drains normally as if something has been dislodged...

    Stopcock turned tight but water still running upstairs. Help!

    Hi all, thank you so much in advance for any help. I’m always really grateful for the advice and support from experts when I have been on here a few years ago. There’s a dripping coming from my bathroom and I can hear it coming from behind the toilet and I’m worried it’s causing a buildup which...

    Washing machine makes scratching noise when NOT running

    I used my LG ThinQ front loader washing machine for the first time this morning. Just to wash some pocketless shirts, so I'm sure there was nothing in there that could have fallen out. Now, however, the washer is making a metallic scratching/ twanging sound every few seconds, even though it is...

    Worcester Motor running constantly but

    Worcester Boiler. Really annoying. All works as it should fine in normal use. However have to go away for a couple of weeks at a time. I put the boiler in holiday mode 5 degrees it's very unlikely it's needed to kick in. When I come back the boiler pump motor is often running even though it was...

    Pump running but no power to boiler

    On a breakdown which is stumping me. The boiler has no power to it even though everything else in the system is working as it should. The 3 way moves across when it should and kicks in the pump but there is no power on the wire entering the boiler.

    Cap off cold water running to shower via loft space?

    I’m doing a bathroom refit, and there’s some strange pipework design that I’d like some advice on, please. I want to remove the cold water pipe running through the loft space because I would rather avoid having a cold water pipe buried under the loft roll insulation. Instead, I’d like to reuse...

    Water keeps running out of pipe?

    I’ve got this pipe outside which water is constantly coming out of the bottom as you can see. I’ve tried turning the blue fitting but it doesn’t stop it at all. I’ve got no idea why the PRV is there or what it’s for, can I just take it off & replace with a new one & turn it off on that?

    Checklist for continually running pump?

    I have a 23 year old Megaflo heating and hot water system powered by the original Thermecon oil boiler. One of the most common kinds of faults I get with this system is the continually running circulating pump. The upstairs and downstairs CH are separate circuits each with their own Danfoss...

    Toilet Running Overnight

    Got a streak of ice on the brickwork outside underneath the upstairs toilet cisterns overflow outlet which I only noticed as it's sub zero. Seems to be thicker everyday due to outlet pipe being snapped to the level of the brick. Checked the cistern and it seems to fill up and stop at a suitable...

    No hot water if the heating is running, but otherwise okay.

    I have a strange fault with a Vaillant EcoTec combi-boiler. It's 100% reliable whenever the heating is called for, ie. by the room-stats. It's also 100% reliable when hot water is called for, ie. hot tap or shower, as long as the heating isn't running at the time. But if the heating is already...

    Potterton Suprima 100L running 24/7

    We have a 20 year old Potterton Suprima 100L system boiler. It’s running 24/7 and only way we can turn off CH is at boiler mains! Engineer replaced PCB and believes it will be the frost stat kicking in but it just doesn’t seem right (this hasnt happened before). As I say, even in milder temps...

    Boiler running but no heating

    Hi boiler has been making a noise continuously for 24h as if running but no pressure or heating. Could this be because of a frozen condensation pipe? We can't check it die to location. Should we leave boiler on? Worried about energy costs as you can imagine. We had barely put heating on

    Renovating an upstairs bathroom. Void between floor boards and ceiling below is too narrow to hide the waste pipe from a wall hanging toilet. My plan is to build stud wall with sufficient width to hide the 100mm toilet waste pipe into the existing stack. In practice this means extending the...
