Hi, I am new to this forum and looking for some help. So thanks in advance for any advice given.
2 years ago we renovated a house in France and fitted a number of new bathrooms. In all the bathrooms we used Burlington Bathrooms taps for the baths and basins and used the flexible tap connectors that were supplied with the taps. A year ago one of the flexible connectors to a basin snapped off at the end, where the pipe thread that goes into the tap joins the pipe. This then flooded the house, as we were out at the time.
The house is used for holidays, so when we are not there we turn the water off at the mains, but we leave the heating on. When my wife went there this weekend she turned the water on and realised an hour later that another flexible hose had snapped, again flooding the house. Again it snapped at the end where it goes into the tap, leaving part of it inside the tap thread. So she turned the water off at the mains, cleaned up and then isolated that bathroom, so she could put the water back on again to the rest of the house. An hour later another one snapped, in a different bathroom.
We now have no faith in the system and are scared to turn the water on, especially if we are leaving the house. So I'm looking for advice on how to solve the problem and any thoughts as why two would have gone within hours of each other, despite the fact that that they've been fine for the last two years.
Any help would be very gratefully received.
