do you DIY ? or do you pay someone that knows what they are doing ?. Our kitchen mixer tap hose has suddenly sprung a leak, i bought a new one off ebay, mrs T wants me to fix it. Since i know less than fk all about plumbing, it could be a problem. Been on tinterweb and it seems easy enough. Only time will tell. Also had the waterboard out last week to fix 3 leaks so we got a lot of air in the pipes, when you turn the tap on the whole house shakes rattles and rolls. Hopefully by turning the water off to fix the hose, it should also fix the air in the pipes fingers crossed. |

turning the water off will make the air lock worse as piping ahead of the stopc0ck will be empty of water. when you turn it back on try running the taps very low for 5 mins. I've replaced the flush siphon on a toilet, and changed the cart or valves inside taps. one thing I couldn't manage was adjusting the hinges on a UPVC door that wasn't hung on the level.youtube has lots of tradesmen making themselves less needed. |

Got the water off. Good job I got long arms as the stop tap is very deeply buried.

Good job I got long arms as the stop tap is very deeply buried.there's sometimes another one inside the house, there's one under the stairs and in the front garden here. don't forget to run the taps till they're dry. |

with this house being split into 5 flats, we have 5 stop taps outside, all in the hole, and 5 in the hall, all in the same cupboard. The waterboard put 1 in for us last week, just outside the living room window

it starts with the taps.. then you're building a new kitchen. then it's new tiles. then it's a new bathroom. new toilet. hey, why don't we turn one of the spare bedrooms into an upstairs bathroom ? wouldn't it be nice if we had a gazebo and some outdoor furniture here ? now you're fighting because you want to build a home theatre in the other spare room, but she wants a yoga/workout room. 'like that'll help' you'll mutter. she fu*king heard you. Now you're sleeping in the hybrid yogatheatre, but you never got around to fixing that wifi blackspot. so you gotta burn your data or use your imagination to jerk off until she calms down. at least you get a few spare days to work on that driveway car turntable while she ignores you. DIY is ace

The waterboard put 1 in for us last week, just outside the living room window I multi trade for a living..hopefully you should have a isolation valve on your pipes under the sink..Just turn it off and the rest is just a straight forward like for like swap. |
