Hi, the radiator valve in my bathroom is leaking. The flat is in a period converted house and there’s no separate control to turn off and just drain the water for the flat. There are 3 communal boiler in the building. I was told we probably need to drain all waters in the boiler in the communal boiler. With that in mind, I want to know how much it cost to fix my flat valve leaking problem?

Is it possible to connect the guttering runaway to the house’s sewer system? And is this still legal to have this changed? Currently we have a soakaway area with a hole that this gutter leads to, but this is getting blocked up regularly now. This is an old house which has a combined sewer system which has another set of gutters which do connect to the sewer system.

What's the best drain unblocker? I frequently get a blocked kitchen sink. I want a stong unblocker to try and fully clear out any blockages before I call in a professional.

Hi I currently have no outside drain in my back garden only the pipe coming from the guttering going into a closed drain. I attempted to jet wash my patio but as there is nowhere for the water to go it was a very tedious task. What would the cost of having an open drain fitted be please or any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks

What is a pre-purchase drain survey and why would it be necessary? Is it true that mortgage providers have it as a requirement now?

I own the top floor flat of a 3 story building. In May, my tenant noticed that the kitchen sink was draining slowly so after a lot of trying with drain unblocker, I got a plumber out who chucked stronger stuff down there which seemed to do the job. A few weeks ago, the problem came back as well as the washing machine waste backing up and leaking all over the floor. Someone came out who found a block in my pipework and cleared it out and the sink was draining fine, until she used her washing machine which seemed to block it all up again. Next I had a drainage company out who suggested it could be a blockage or build up in the stack pipe. They put a camera up the pipe and couldn’t see any blockage, but they couldn’t get right to the top. They also played around with the pipes and noticed that as soon as you loosened the joints, water drained away easily. So, they recommended an air admittance valve was installed. So a plumber did that and STILL no luck.
