Still leaking into the pan from the cistern
The cistern has been leaking into the pan constantly for ages, so today I’ve replaced the fill valve, the doughnut/ coupling washer and the flush valve. All working fine, except there is still a steady flow of water leaking into the pan as it was before. It’s driving me bonkers!! So the cistern leaks water out, then refills itself, then leaks, then refills...etc. Any ideas?
Noisy tap what causes it
My kitchen tap makes a juddering sound randomly through the day and when the shower is on what is causing this and how do I fix it?
Install an integrated dishwasher where there is none at present
I have decided to install a dishwasher. This would be a brand-new installation, a dishwasher does not currently exist in the kitchen at present. So in one of the units to the one side of the sink, this is where the new dishwasher would go and I’m hoping that an integrated dishwasher, possibly slimline, can go into this space. My concerns are: How can this be undertaken and coordinated, considering that there is plumbing work, electricity considerations, and I’m hoping that I can use the same existing kitchen cabinet door as a cover for it, as I believe it would be difficult to find this exact covering in the market. How can this project come to fruition from a logistical standpoint? I’m finding it really frustrating as most white gold suppliers and other kitchen installation businesses, only include the installation itself, but not installation from scratch like in this case. Would very much appreciate your advice. Ana

Accessing drainage pipe on leaking shower
Our shower is leaking through the ceiling. We've tried resealing it, but it still leaks so we think it might be the drainage pipes but I can't see how to access them without taking the tray out. Is this normal?
Is sediment is coming out of my water heater
How can I establish whether sediment is coming out of a water heater and transferring on to fixtures? I’m concerned it’s the cause of a brown, rusty colour in hot water.
Warm outdoor tap
Years ago we had an outdoor tap fitted that gave us warm water for washing our dogs. Kitchen sink was moved during refurb and they changed all the pipes so now only hot water out of the tap…they removed a small valve that was really small and simple but I can’t find it online anywhere- it wasn’t one of the big TMVs I’ve seen- just a small brass joint..any help appreciated!
Why would an outside tap suddenly stop working?
Went outside to clean my cars and the outside tap (cold only) isn't working. Why is this happening? Do you think I could fix it myself?
