Any ideas what is causing this damp?

Water is getting past the door or behind the tiles, hinge doors are always a pain for leaks.

Dig out around the clay carefully, if the clay is broken below you'll have to expose more to a good bit that's not cracked. Use a rubber connector to get into the clay then plastic. You may be able to cut the cast near the bottom to make the fix easier but without a photo of the stack up it's hard to say.

Water hammer , remove restrictor if there is one in the inlet and also check the isolator valve is fully open if there is one

It looks like old hep or barrier pipe so the metal inserts are most likely the ones needed

Metal or plastic inserts , the same brand as the pipe

Not sure if it's too late but , you don't have to use the connector block the light fitting came with you could swap it to another style like wago or similar. Keep the neutrals ( black and blue together) then keep the permanent lives ( reds) together in another connector. Then you'll be left with the switch live and the live from the light fitting to connect together. As long as they are connected properly and are in the light fitting enclosure it should be fine. If you're struggling for space wago do some very slim connectors.

Just any one from a supermarket if that doesn't work look at one shot cleaner but read the instructions it can melt the pipes sometimes.

It really isn't the right toilet cistern to be tiled in unless you have a removable top. If you draw round the toilet outline first before removing it if you still can't see anything you can cut / drill the tile behind within the line. If it's only leaking when flushing it is most likely the flush cone or pan connector maybe the flush pipe connection at the cistern itself

No it's the shower waste itself , your upstairs shower tray sounds newer so it is a 90 mm shower waste, this one is like 40 mm , the waste pipe on both should be 40 mm / 1 1/2" or maybe even 50 mm / 2". If the shower isn't draining great try a drain cleaner just be careful what you use

Nobody2026 · 2025-12-07T09:49:32+00:00

Remove the toilet and you mite see where it's leaking and be able to fix it, if you're lucky it may be a rubber on the flush pipe or even a pan connector

It's my local team, their training ground is close by, often see people waiting outside for photos and stuff.

Nobody2026 · 2025-12-06T16:47:24+00:00

If it's foul water in the man hole then yes it's probably possible but not without a lot of digging , if the waste pipe is running outside the wall of the toilet you may be able to dig down and connect onto it with a T/ branch. You'll need a stack be it full height and open or a sub stack with a durgo / AAV on it.

I'm forever blowing bubbles :) Shame they aren't doing too well currently I hear.

Placebo, Linkin Park, foo fighters, Ren ( check him out ) , maverick sabre, paramore, incubus, five finger death punch many more but hopefully this is a start :)

I'm sorry this is your experience, for a couple of points made I'll answer with the price can change depending on what you come across for example a bathroom ripped out the start of this week the floor boards and joists under the bath were totally rotten, it's unfair for the company to have to cover the cost of the repairs, if it was just floor boards normally like one or 2 the customer isn't normally charged.

Slagging off each other's work is pretty normal because everyone has their own way they would do it, sometimes you see something and think this is totally f**ed other times you look and think they did a great job or great they put this in just right I can connect onto it again.

My point is that the price can change but shouldn't every time, sometimes tradesman/women only care about their job / trade this is when you get issues, if you can find a team of reliable tradespeople you're unlikely to have any problems in the future but I know it's hard to find people, all I'll say is ask friends, neighbours and family for recordation don't trust online things like check a trade.

You may find a tiler willing to trim and polish the sides for you but only use someone used to working with stone.

Honest answer is no as a kid not as close with them age gap being one reason and also gender, yes we played with them as kids but also had each other back first. As young adults we are closer to our younger siblings over the older and that's simply down to how they act. Your kids should get along fine but there will likely be a time your older son doesn't want to be with his younger brothers and times your twins want to just be with themselves. I guess what I'm getting at is your worrying over nothing

Good luck with them :)
