i have 3 sottini toilets with a compact cistern.
It has an ideal standard dual flush mechanism. 2" entry
The ideal standard is poor quality in my opinion, I have replaced the washer and complete unit several times but it always leaks within a short time (between 0-18 months),
I would like to...
Hi all,
New to this forum and new to plumbing. Only just passed Level One plumbing.
I am having to go back and look at a leak from the back of a WC. The flush pipe is chrome and I have replaced the flush pipe concertina seal.
The seal seems to being pushed out of the WC when flushing. The size...
Hi there,
Have bought an old house and am having the old lead water mains pipe replaced and a new stopcock location/piping installed after massively high readings from water testing by the water company.
Also buying new plastic water tank to start afresh so to speak.
Pipework/joinery looks to...

We are looking for a toilet with a good design and a powerful flush as one of our family members produces rather large stools that get jammed in our current toilet - which was an emergency purchase from wicks and was very cheap, we are now ready to spend a little more for something that can do...
In December 2022 (i.e. 5 months ago) I had a full system power flush conducted. Now the previously clear UFH flow gauges are black again. Is it possible that enough internal corrosion could have occurred in this time period?
I had a separate plumber out a month ago to test some pipework and he...
Hi
i bought the house that Jack built and ohh has the heating been left to spoil. Prior to moving in 2 new firebird boilers were fitted, silver utility 35. The system is in dire need of a power flush and I intend on using FX2 to do the job. Can anyone advise if FX2 is ok with this boiler model ?
I have a Viva Skylo flush valve and want to adjust it for maximum flushing power on the full flush. None of the instructions indicate whether a higher or lower number will achieve this, and I can't see an obvious difference in the water volume. Anyone know how the adjustment works...
Hi all,
First Post on here. I am hoping someone can help with the below.
I have mounted 2 new rads to a recent extention we have had. The rads are not connected up to the heating system which is a combi fed system.
I thought it would be good practice to clean, flush, refill and use an...
Hi all
Relatively inexperienced homeowner here. Apologies in advance if I get any terminology wrong.
Today I noticed some limescale accumulation on/around the grout between the floor tiles next to my toilet. I realised that the grout line right next to the toilet was in fact wet to the touch...
I have a rusty radiator in the bathroom, not worth repainting as there is already paint on top of rust. It will be straightforward for me to change myself, I can get an identical replacement Stellrad, which makes things easy. The water in the system has inhibitors in it and a Fernox TF1 has kept...
Any ideas on the a decent flush to wall close coupled toilet/brand? Should I just go for Victoria Plumb Orchard brand?
Just to clarify I'm not looking for a btw type with a hidden cistern. I'm looking for a flush to wall close coupled loo i.e.so you cant see soil pipe/so theres no open back/no...
Just changed our cistern and found somone previously had used a random pipe for the flush pipe. Now they had managed to make it work in the old cistern but it leaks with the new one as the curve of it means the pipe sits at an angle...now to make life easier and not have to work out how to...
I wonder if anyone is able to help with advice on this. We have fitted a new toilet and 6 litre cistern .. it flushes .. but not as efficiently as it should in my view. It usually needs at least 2 flushes to even shift just toilet paper. It hasn’t been used for anything other than that.
It’s a...
Hello,
Recently I received an unusually large water bill which led me to the discovery of leaking flush valves. I have two toilets and it turned out in both the valve seals were bubbling so I set out to replace them. For now I just flipped them over as the other side was smooth on both.
The...
Hi I've just had installed a rimless Rak Resort Maxi close coupled back to the wall loo.
From day 1 the problems have been:
1. It takes a couple of the big flushes to get rid of loo roll
2. The water when flushed doesnt travel all the way to the front of the pan and so leaves that area...
My Dudley vantage pneumatic operated niagara dual flush valve is not refilling into the cistern and if it does it is very very slow.
I can turn on/off the cold water tap from the bath located next to cistern and water begins to flow into cistern albeit very very slowly.
I recently moved into a new flat and both toilets were dripping when not in use. I found that the issue was the flush valve seal and replaced it on both of them. It stopped the dripping but the issue now is that sometimes it sticks after flushing and I need to give it a wiggle to make it go back...
Hi there,
The issue that I am having is I am building a new house and the plumbers are absolutely hopeless. Being an industrial plumber and spending 8 months on new houses during my apprenticeship. I have a more brighter idea than these fella's. From issues during rough-in-stage pipe being...
Hi everyone,
The flush button on my toilet has stopped working. I have been quoted £95 to supply and fit a new flush valve and £75 to supply and fit a new ball valve. Please could someone kindly advise if this is a reasonable price?
Thank you.
Hi ive been asked to fix a leak on a flush pipe. I’ve never come across the pan type before. It looks like a closed couple but has a short flush pipe at the back. The pipe was clearly cut too short. it appears to be a 2” flush pipe going into the cistern but I looks like it’s 1 1/2” going into...
