problem

Can any of you experienced plumbers help with this mystery? I bought a new Abacus Edge wall mounted bath shower mixer. It was fitted by a professional plumber but he couldn't get the diverter to stop water coming out of the filler spout. You turn it one way and it stops water coming out of the...

Just FYI I have no idea what an rcd is but upstairs in our house we have a single plug socket that when I plug my phone into it trips the rcd downstairs which turns off the oven and downstairs light, probably more I haven't checked. Is this an expensive job to fix, do I need to take any...

Hi there, we have just had our floor replaced and have been left disappointed with the quality of finish, especially relating to the skirting boards and wondered whether this is what we should have expected (never had a new floor laid before) or whether this should be seen as poor workmanship...

Hi there, I have recently had this IKEA kitchen installed by some local tradesmen. They moved washing machine to a separate room and all waste under floorboards. When using the washing machine I am getting a lot of loud gurgling and drains seem slow to drain away at times. I have read...

Hi, I have a Triton Enrich shower which stopped working after being used for just over a year. The light on the box on the ceiling turns on when I pull it but the light on the shower itself isn’t turning on and there is no water coming out. I can’t see anything wrong with the circuit under the...

Hi, I have a problem with my boiler. It is making a very weird humming noise every night, even when it's turned off. It looks like it has something to do with the water pressure - When I closed the water valve the pressure naturally went down, and the humming sound stopped. After opening the...

I have removed the old floors from a bathroom, around 5 square meter, and there was a celotex (50mm). It was sitting on a concrete slab. I repeated the same model, but I added a membering first then 50mm celotex then 12mm Hardibacker. I fixed the hardibacker with screws to the main concrete slab...

My problems seems to be that hot water coming out of the hot water storage cylinder into upstairs radiators after heating/HW turns off (for around 1 hour) and running out of hot water in the mornings which was stored in the cylinder the overnight. It used to be fine for a number of years. I...

I have a Moretti shower from screwfix from a few years ago. Recently the hot water flow was poor, making for a cold shower even with hot water in the cistern. I took out the cartridge and cleaned it with vinegar to clean and scaling (I’m in Yorkshire do the water is soft). The cartridge has...

Hello, How can I unscrew that pull up/push down shower diverter which I marked on the photo? Is it even possible?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can advise me. I am laying a new travertine floor and underfloor heating. I have taken up the old vinyl floor which has a screed of cement self levelling compound ( it looks like it but was done by the previous owner) and unfortunately some of the screed has broken up...

My boiler Ideal Logic 30 Combi shows flame loss error (F2 fault). Boiler is in the newly property and so far has been used just for hot water, which worked fine. The problem appeared when I tried to switch on central heating (The CH system has been drained, flashed and refilled).With "C" on the...

Hi! I bought a house with a boiler installed Ideal Logic 30 Combi. I don't have warranty on it, although it's rather new, of 2015. The whole system has been drained flashed and resealed. When I moved in I was just using hot water. When I switched on CH mode, boilers makes a noise before...

Apprantly the builders used dulux trade supermatt, to which i have tried to use retail, dulux matt paint, colour wise they match perfectly, although my new matt paint is very rough in comparison, hence why i was hoping to avoid doing the whole wall, but leads me to believe it is infact a...
