[Plumbstar Tom]

hot water out of bathroom taps?

 

[Chrissy]

no Tom out kitchen mixer tap

 

[Plumbstar Tom]

sorry i mean are you getting hot water else where? ie from other taps or a shower?

 

[Chrissy]

sorry my fault, yes all ok upstairs just the kitchen tap

 

[Plumbstar Tom]

possibily a sticking jumper

Is it that no water at all is coming out the hot side?

If yes you will need some basic DIY skills to fix

 

[Chrissy]

it just dribbles out of the tap, what type of skills? would i be able to fix it? could you also tell me could you also tell me could this blow the main board on the bolier as it had to fixed last week

did you get my last message Tom? new at this game

Tom are you unable to help me with next bit on trying to fix the tap? i'm really desperate to get it fixed

Thanks

Chrissy

 

[Plumbstar Tom]

yes i did, dont worry

I doubt it would blow the main board, cant see why it would be related

What boiler is it? make and model

you will need to isolate you water supply, normally a stop tap under kitchen sink

Then dismantle the tap hot side by removing the handle this could be by taking a cap off the top of the tap, sometimes the one that says hot or cold. then in screwing the valve and inspecting the washer

If it needs replacing you will know and will need to take it to a plumbers merchant, PTS, CPS etc
