  • YMMV, but it may still be that the pipes do weird weirs things behind walls.

    Turn everything off.

    Hammering frozen sausages into the ends of the pipes may work too.

  • We've tried turning everything off. I know because I was even clever enough last time to write some labels on the stupid fucking pipes.

    Also the shower is working better now. Missus fucked around with it yesterday and I reckon she's loosened some limescale or something so it has much better flow rate again. It really is best to leave the womenfolk at home...

    with a stopcock ?

  • Don’t underestimate limescale for restricting water flow. We had barely a dribble out of the shower when we moved in so got onto the water co, plumbers round, asked the neighbours how theirs was. On the verge of getting a power shower fitted when a handiman who was putting in a fan offered to check water inlet. It was full of limescale so he cleared it out and now it’s like niagra falls.
