No the huge ones all over Britain - that must be dreadful.
I've been haunted by the faint smell of warm wet floorboards and plaster for about two weeks. Finally this afternoon I found the cause. The downstairs bathroom has its own hot cylinder which I installed in April 1999 using Polyplumb plastic piping and joints. The stub that runs out of the top of the cylinder had developed a fine aerosol leak - not enough to make a noise but over some weeks enough to soak the walls but not have them run with water.
So this afternoon, a dash to B&Q to buy brass fittings and now I have a wee project to keep me occupied over the holiday. I will replace the stub and the right-angle bend in copper to get that bathroom back in commission, all the while wondering whether I should redo the whole thing in copper. My project for next year had been to redo the ground floor radiator circuit in plastic - but that will be copper too now.
Has anyone else had this kind of failure in good quality plastic pipe?
