Loft Header Tank
Hi, My small loft header tank in the loft is overflowing when the hot water/heating is switched on. It’s fine when the heating/water are off, but starts up again when it comes on again. It started with a few drips a few weeks ago to a slow flow now, which lasts for about 10-15 minutes when the heating/water initially comes on and then stops dripping again. Any ideas?

Mixer tap before electric shower
We have a cylinder that can run on electric but also gets heated when the oil burner heats the house. However, our shower is electric that means we heat up the water for the shower even if the cylinder is full of hot water. Could a set-up work where a thermostatic mixer tap would get cold and hot water, mix it to say 40C (if there is hot water in the cylinder) and this would feed the electric shower? If the water that come in is warm enough already, it would not need to heat it (or just a little) if it come in cold, since there is no hot water in the cylinder, it would just work as an electric shower and heat the water. I could fit the mixer tap in the hot press right the opposite side of the wall to the shower.
Heavy toilet cistern
I have a mid rise (Very heavy) cistern that needs to be fitted to a tiled plaster boarded wall. There are no battens to fix it to where it needs to go and the wall behind that is very old disintegrating brick, so I was wondering what sort of weight would be safe to hang to the wall and what fixings would be best If it it possible to do? Many thanks.
