    Shutting off water supply

    Need to do a relatively simple job(change washer on tap in kitchen), but the stop tap is seized, any idea if this is an isolation valve which will do the same job? Many thanks.

    Shower going cold, hot water supply gets cut off completely?

    I have a new shower that has worked fine, albeit with low hot water pressure, for a couple of months. Now it starts hot, but then goes cold completely, sometimes after a couple of minutes, sometimes after less than 30 seconds. Meanwhile, on the side of the bathroom sink, there are no issues...

    Shower valve on supply pipe

    Hi, I just bought an old house that was renovated in the 1980s. The bathroom shower has some kind of valve on the supply pipe - does anyone know what this is for? The whole bathroom will be going into a skip in a few months but I’m just curious as to what it’s for. Thanks.

    Upgrade gas supply line from galvenised steel to copper?

    I'm wondering if a failed gas line test indicates a gas leak. If so, is it a requirement to upgrade gas supply line from galvanised steel to copper? Would you replace all gas pipes? What would you be looking at in terms of cost in Victoria Australia?
