    squeaky grohe bathroom tap 2 months old

    Gave it a good pull with 2 hands and it just popped off. Bit of a flaff to put it back on, you have to turn the round tap bit underneath to on so water comes out then try to line it up properly but it won't just push on in any direction it has to fall within a line almost (which is not marked)...

    squeaky grohe bathroom tap 2 months old

    thanks a lot, could not see that fuller manual at all your one has actual text and guide lines. Also noticed it mentions to use grease, which I think may fix the squeak. I am assuming I just lift the tap handle upwards then, I think though I will wait for grohe to get back to me via email just...

    squeaky grohe bathroom tap 2 months old

    Cheers, yeah have emailed grohe support but they usually take a week or so to respond so still waiting on them. Yes I live in a heavy limescale area, I have since cleaned it and squeak is still there. I think maybe the cartridge on the inside is bad or some dirt or limescale on the inside or...

    squeaky grohe bathroom tap 2 months old

    Got a very bad feeling the way to open this grohe tap to get to the cartridge is underneath, which means removing half the bathroom cabinet and panels to get to it which is a nightmare. manual for this tap is vague no entry points either but its this model here or Grohe Start Loop Deck-Mounted...

    squeaky grohe bathroom tap 2 months old

    Hi bit of a weird issue, I installed a grohe bathroom tap successfully 2 months ago bought from screwfix. Last week the right hand hot tap makes a squeak noise as I turn it on or off, left tap is 100% perfect and noiseless. This grohe tap is like one unit, so no screw notch or way I can remove...

    Which tool to undo stubborn tap connector?

    Went with both options, my new bacho wide grip spanner worked a treat the grip it gets is much safer and lock tight. Still you were correct easier to make it simple so I ended up going with jg speed fit flexis that simply connect from bath tap directly to the 15mm copper pipe, job done within...

    Which tool to undo stubborn tap connector?

    Yup got a small copper pipe on order, will be much easier as you suggest. The tools I am using are generic store stuff ones I got for a few quid and my adjustable spanner is also poor and not wide grip. I have replaced few taps around the home before but figured better to invest in some quality...

    Which tool to undo stubborn tap connector?

    thanks for the tool suggestions, I do have a very old stilton wrench but it tends to lose the grip along the teeth so it just slides maybe its not a good tool. The spanners I have were just 2-3mm short to fit sadly, I think I will invest in some better quality adjustable spanners so have...

    Which tool to undo stubborn tap connector?

    Hi I am trying to replace my bathroom tap with a new one, I am trying to remove the existing rusty flexible tap connectors from this bit of 22mm copper pipe. But this thing is not budging at all its like its welded or super glued on, I am using some water pliers on both points here but its not...

    Boiler Service failed today despite previous 3 passing it

    Hi appreciate and thanks to all that replied to me earlier about my fire risk boiler issue. I did get a gentlemen from the Gas safety register board today, popped in within 10 seconds said there is no fire risk at all. And he also provided the same bosch boiler system installation guide lines...

    Boiler Service failed today despite previous 3 passing it

    thanks, are you referring to the non-combustible sleeve enclosing the fluepipe part in that link? Wonder why this fella felt so strong it was a fire risk with those 2 bits of boards, maybe a case of everyone's opinion is different. Either way appreciate the link, I can forward it to the...

    Boiler Service failed today despite previous 3 passing it

    I have included some more close up shots in case it helps: Id say the brown board on the inside boiler cupboard is roughly 1 inch thick, it does not look like its any special type of wood or fire resistant material exactly its also loose I was able to pull it a bit forward off the...

    Boiler Service failed today despite previous 3 passing it

    The black flue part on the outside? its well above the brick and coming out of wood so its sort of poking out of the wood panel white board. Its that white square piece of board the engineer suggested is flammable and unsafe since its not the correct type of wood. He is basically saying that...

    Boiler Service failed today despite previous 3 passing it

    Yes its got a timber frame, bricks at bottom maybe 2-3 metres and then almost a chipboard type wood panels in the middle and top with timber cladding on front. So its kind of a mixture of brick and wood. I did consider he may not be use to such houses since people are use to brick, stone...
