In the last few days we've had high water level in downstairs toilet.
The first few flushes are good and waste flows away but eventually the water level rises in the pan to perhaps half the height of the pan and takes some hours to drain away.
Last night I poured 6 large buckets of hot water...

I'm replacing a toilet pan & the current install has a pan connected to the soil pipe with a flexi wate, but the pan exit is almost 100% lower than the soil pipe entry. Short of setting the pan on plinth, what would be the correct install?
Hi guys, I've just spent the last half an hour going through the fourm trying ot find someone with my problem but no luck.

Hello all, first time poster here, I have looked but don't see this issue mentioned.
My old washing machine inlet pipe was leaking, not surprising given it was over 30 years old. It looks to have been a slow leak from the meeting between the rubber pipe and plastic connecter at the machine...

Hi all,

Hi I recently changed the washing machine and found that the new one only had a cold water inlet. The old one had hit as well. When I undid the hot after turning the valve off it be cams apparent the valve wasn’t shutting off properly. So I removed the tap to get to the valve and noticed the...
Yesterday my boiler's pressure gauge suddenly shot up to 3 bars (it has never done this before). I turned it off and started to bleed the kitchen radiator, this only brought it down to 2 bars. I also noticed that the overflow pipe is leaking a lot so i turned the water off entirely. This brought...
Hey guys Iam fitting a boiler where the prv and condense will be removed by a high temp pump.
Question is... does the the pipework that takes the condesate/prv have to be pipe in high temp plastic waste pipe? Like on an invented cylinder
