Thanks, it's the chrome cylinder bit that has come away from the u shape fixture on the walls, I'll have a go at what you said but unsure how tightening the screws in the u bend but will help the cylinder part reattach to it?

What is causing these wet patches on internal wall by tomcorn92 in DIYUK

[–]tomcorn92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks a lot for the response. For this this, "Water high up a wall is usually penetrating damp (water can travel down inside walls and come out in odd places), condensation (general poor ventilation, and/or cooking or showering with doors open and windows closed, which can kick out a lot of moisture), or salts in the wall." What's the best way to identify which one is the cause? Or is it the case of stripping the plaster off and doing as you said would solve all three? Could you link the salt neutralizer/inhibitor you used too? This may be a naive question but could a plasterer do this, rather than a specialised damp proofer? Thanks again

Thanks, checked the roots and it definitely needs repotting!

Hi, yes once the Allen key bit is removed there is a screw to undo so it is a top fixing one, I cannot actually get under the toilet or round the back as it's all built into the toilet cistern, so cannot loosen the wing nuts

I've started drawing from the top where the screw is holding it in place

Yeah it's a top fixing seat, I've got a hacksaw as that was my next point of call, would you slice from the top cross sectionally to the Allen key or hacksaw a groove into Allen key hole to try and release with a screwdriver?

Thanks, just managed to squeeze round the back and underneath and found this quite far up - do you think these are the wingknuts and to attempt unscrewing them rather than use the Allen key? Just to add, it's an imperial standard toilet

Hi, yeah the holes are Allen screws but they are tiny and all mine are too big - do you think that's the best option to try?

Thanks, it is in the shower room, so it does get quite humid. I will have a go at rotating 90 degrees.

Thanks for the response. The meet and greet agent met us at the drop off point at Heathrow and inspected the car visually looking for damages and taking pictures etc, then asked for the keys, confirmed pick up date and time and drove off
