    Hi all. Complete novice here so before i go to woodies and buy something that wont work I am coming to ye!

    Piping that was installed for a gas boiler has started leaking at the elbow (?)joints. Think we must have hit off it and disturbed them because they were fine up until a day or two ago
    Cant seem to get them to stop leaking myself
    Do i have to disconnect them and try fit them together a bit better or would i be better off putting something around them to seal them?
    Thanks

    Dismantle and glue, only use pvc pipe compound.

    Are you sure its a joint? looks well stuck, Its not so difficult to crack the pipes
