Hi, I have a bit of a strange problem. A handful of times I've had a leak from the kitchen ceiling. This has always occurred when there has been a potential 'water pressure event'. The first two times happened exactly when there was a major leak down the road from us, the second couple of...

My tap started dripping & I used my trusty monkey Wrench & tried to brute force it to turn. Sadly the nut round off & I can’t seem to remove it. I purchased a spanner but still no luck as the nut has no corners. I tried the monkey W again on the base but the metal has turned soft. Any ideas...

Hello I'm going around in circles trying to find a new kitchen sink. We want a white one, ideally a more modern look like granite or composite than ceramic. When reading about Franke and peers composite sinks I read a lot of reviews suggesting they feel cheap and plasticky. So... 1) What...

Hi, I wonder if someone can help - does anyone know the size of this nut/joint and if it will be compatible with the following kitchen tap once I've removed the old one? It seems to have 1/2 and 3/8 Inch Adaptors - will it be a case of unscrewing/removing the the existing pipe and then...

Hi, I require some advice on two issues. I have a Worcester 24cdi combi boiler, my kitchen mixer tap only gets hot water when I turn central heating on. The toilet hot water works without needing to turn central heating on. I recently increased the boiler pressure from below 1 to 1.5, could...

Hi, I have just moved into my first home which has a Worcester combi 24cdi boiler. I have two plumbing issues which I would be grateful for some advice. 1. I get no hot water in the kitchen mixer tap unless the central heating is on. The toilet hot water works fine even without the central...

I recently installed a new kitchen tap which has slimmer flexi hoses to the previous tap. After installing it I noticed the water pressure has dropped everywhere in the house. If I turn the isolation valves for the kitchen tap off, the pressure returns to what it was previously. I don't...

Hi everyone, I have a query about two stopcocks in my kitchen. There is one under the sink which turns off the kitchen water, then I have a cold water feed gate valve in a cupboard near my bathroom which turns off the water in the bathroom. However in the side of my kitchen wall there are...

Hi. The house I have moved into last year has had a smelly sink. I now have a chance to look at it and suspect it’s the trap. Dismantling the trap certainly reveals smells further down. I did think it was just an anti-siphon needed. However looking at this again it looks to be a cobble together...

Hey my kitchen tap has lever knobs on both sides and the left one is leaking. Is there an easy way of fixing it?

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for good quality taps. Ones that will last. My kitchen mixer-tap is leaking after just 3 years, and it wasn't cheap. I need a low pressure tap, as my hot water is gravity-fed. Monobloc, ideally 2 levers. Recommendations on good brands to look for would be...

Hi, a plumber has been out to my rental property as my tenant reported a blockage causing water to flow back from the washing machine into the dish washer. Both were disconnected and their drainage hoses cleared out but the plumber advises that there is more of a blockage further down the waste...

Hi All, Having a problem whereby we aren't getting any water from our taps except the cold water from the kitchen which is working fine. Going to get a plumber round to look, but any idea on what the likely cause is? My assumption is that there is a problem with the tank in the loft and I...

Cold water side works but hot suddenly stopped working. I’ve checked that there are no leaking pipes. Any idea? I got it installed 1 month ago. Is it down to a poor installation???

Hi. I need to install a kitchen sink in a bathroom. I’d like to use a standard bathroom sink drain/stopper but the hole in the sink is too large. Is there some sort of oversized flange or similar I can use to reduce the size of the hole to accept the smaller drain? Thanks!

Okay so I went and purchased this nice Grohe Bau Curve Kitchen Mono Mixer Tap and I knew it came with 6mm bore flexi tails which was fine because I thought I'll just change them with 8mm bore flexi tails that I purchased at the same time. When I tried to undo the preinstalled flexi tails from...
