Leaking plumbing and shower

Hello Soulfood

Sorry to hear you have the "Leakiest Sink!" :lol:
Just wondered if you could elaborate with the shower details.
Would it be an all electric, powershower, etc?
If you could also tell me where (if you know) the leak is and how severe?
I may be able to help.

All the best mate

Hello Lizzie

Hello Lizzie Welcome to the forum. I'm not too sure what you mean about the rainwater pipe. It should be OK for the pipe to exit onto a flat roof as long as the flat roof has its own guttering which will carry the water away. The water never actually goes down a drain, but it goes into a "Soak ...

Has PC gone too far

Has political correctness gone too far? My personal opinion - YES. Political correctness was invented as a means of controlling people's minds. The theory goes that if you can put enough pressure on people by controlling what they are able to say, then you can eventually control what they're thinkin...

Central Heating

Hello The Sexton

Disclean

Hello Annie
Yes sorry it looks though you're right....Personally I'd go for the Brick cleaner version. Basically it's Formic Acid. Try applying it 1 part disclean to 1 part cold water. That should do the trick
All the best

Hi Annie I trust you've had a lovely holiday! OK the best thing to do is to visit a Builders Merchant. You can buy Disclean over the counter. I was under the impression (I maybe wrong) that there was just one type. Don't forget to use goggles and wear gloves. Keep the window open whilst applying Dis...
