Re: Toilet refilling when neighbour flushes!!

Brilliant cheers, I'll give it a shot. I think the flats are mains fed (flat roofed purpose built flats-can't figure out where they'd put a loft tank), but it def could be water presseure. My mate said she'd only had this problem since new toilet put in, and it's got worse since a plumber came to lo...

Toilet refilling when neighbour flushes!!

Hi wonder if anyone can help? My friend lives in a flat, and everytime the flat immediately below hers flushes their toilet, it syphons the water out of her toilet cistern!

thanks to both of you the washer supplied with the waste isn't great at all-very flimsy. I've taken it all back out, cleaned it up, and re-sealed everything (using loads of sealant!) and it works!! It seems there's no such thing as too much sealant. Oh and I've taken on board comment about cheap was...

Leaking basin waste

Hi can anybody help please? I've just fitted a new basin/taps etc. I sealed the new basin waste between the plastic back nut and the basin with sealant (as it says in all the books and the waste instructions), and I also sealed around the back nut-and tightened it as tight as I could. Put the trap o...
