Hello all
This is a new installation a friend of mine has just had completed in her cafe.
She can't contact the plumber who did the job for some reason. Not picking up.
It's only a week old.
He has just fitted a sink in a part of the cafe and the pipes are hammering like hell
when you turn...
We had a leak from our boiler which meant I had to take up the flooring. This was a bathroom, but we want a utility room, so will be putting in the washing machine. I don't know if these pipes are accetable though? We need the water feed (on the left) and the pipe for the waste (you can see on...
Hello,
10mm copper heating pipes in loft were lagged with felt. Have extended the pipes with plastic. I I an assuming that plastic 10mm pipe in loft space should be lagged as it can still freeze. Do I just use felt wrap? What do you guys do with plastic 10mm heating pipes in loftspace? Thanks...
Hello there guys,
We've recently discovered (after a drop of water hit my brother on the head!), that a cold water copper pipe is sweating. We thought it might be a leak but have only seen droplets of water on the pipework and after some research have deciphered that the pipe is sweating. The...
For years now probably decades we have experienced intermittant noise, loud humming, in water pipes. The noise may go away for weeks at a time and then come back with a vengeance. Given up trying to get someone to take a look as it doesnt do it to order although Water Authority did take a look...
I am about to insulate a suspended timber groundfloor in a 1930s semi. The joists are 2"x5" with about 400mm of air space below. The pipes currently run below the floor, and the pipework is a mess, with very little insulation. As I need to reroute pipes anyway, am I best running them between the...
Hello all
I have recently purchased a property and now starting to slice up the various jobs into DIY vs get a professional in.
Given the likely disruption, one of the early tasks I want to address is the exposed central heating pipework that effectively does a full loop around the first...
Could anyone point me in the right direction. I had a complete plumbing install at a property I was renovating, the CH and plumbing was commissioned in Oct 20. Over the last 2 weeks we noticed the boiler (ATAG Combi) losing pressure and requiring refilling, this became more frequent, most...
Hi
We installed a combi boiler in an upper flat by taking the pipes up (above the boiler) and into the loft, and then dropped them back down to the radiators in 3 different rooms (as opposed to the normal method of running the pipes under the floor beneath the boiler which was not possible in...

It's an old nunnery with massive breasts! 3 floors and basement. Chimney had 6 fireplaces feeding it. As I am 1st floor (English)/2nd floor (USA) I have a wide breast with 2 blocked off fireplaces. The firepace flues from below run up through and into the flat above and on through the loft to...
Hi, recently moved into my first house and am fairly new to DIY.
I've been experiencing issues with banging and creaking central heating pipes since I moved in. I've now lagged and secured piping wherever I can access it which has fixed the issue to some degree however fitted wardrobes are...
Hi,
I live in an upstairs flat. A pipe burst inside of the flat below. The supply to the flat below tees off immediately after a stopcock under my floorboards. If I turn the stopcock off, its turns off supply to both flats. My question is: who is responsible for the burst pipe, me or the owner...
A while before Christmas, we ended up needing the gas pipe feeding our gas hob moving a couple of inches to allow a new oven to slide in properly underneath..
I managed to find a local Gas Safe plumber to come out and do the job for a reasonable price. He explained in general terms what he...
Hello all,
I require your help and support to get to the bottom of this issue.
I've always had banging pipes in my property however I do think it's getting worse. Initially when the boiler starts to heat the radiators and hot water tank they bang very loud and fast for a few moments. All is...
I had my water cylinder to my unvented system moved from my loft to my landing cupboard a month ago. The original installed had done everything against regs so decided to get someone in and move it all.
Since then I have a couple of problems. The bedroom radiator crackles and pops now and...
Hi,
Firstly, I've looked into a few existing topics but they looked a bit different.
My boiler Flexicom 18sx, or the pipes right around the boiler is making banging sound. This started to happen more now when weather got colder, if this is not a coincidence.
I was able to capture a sample...
Good afternoon,
We are looking to buy a property but having looked in the loft I noticed that push fit has been used on most of the connections on the unvented cylinder. Mixed views so far on whether this is OK so looking for some advice on whether I need this inspected further before we...
