major_clangerNo, I am not going for self-help bowel cancer screening!
Rather, one of the other tenants in our block of flats has noticed a damp patch in the ground floor common area that is suspiciously close to where our bathroom is on the floor above. Furthermore, we did have a visit from a plumber a few weeks ago to re-seat our shower mixer unit. It's possible that in doing so he could have left a slow leak, but I am reluctant to pay for another plumber to undo the work just to have a look and, whether or not there is a problem, redo it again.
However, if there is a leak then it will be into the stud wall between our bathroom and our bedroom. (I would expect to see staining, but a leaky joint might well allow water to run down the pipe and pool at the bottom, not touching our walls on the way.) I could drill through the plasterboard to have a look, but this would involve making a fair-size hole - unless I had something like one of these. But as you'll see, even the cheap ones cost £60 or so - much more for the nice ones with their own screens etc - so before I buy something I may have limited subsequent use for, I thought I'd see if anyone had one I could borrow?
