Thank you so much. You saved me. I was having a panic attack! Thank god I came across your video. My tap would not turn off.
Glad it helped. Check out the puncture repair one i just did
I can't push it down@@HeatingGeek
@@tedbreadth2005 Then look for some other isolation
Thank you so much, I've been going through youtube all day and watched various videos regarding my tap that would turn of. I thought it was a washer at first but that didn't seem to help. Your video was literally the last I found, and it saved me alot. It should be one of the very first videos that yt shows when searching 'leaking/running tap won't turn off'.
Thank you so much. God bless 🙌
Thanks for the lesson. Clear, well explained, easy to understand. My problem is with a kitchen faucet of a somewhat different design, but there is enough similarity that this will help me to figure it out.
Nice fix , hopefully easy to isolate using valves under sink to change cartridge.
you're a life saver! water was going nuts and wouldn't turn off at 3:30 am.
Ha ha love it. :-)
Absolutely love this channel!
Thanks :-)
Thank you! I’ve just used this at my disabled mums house there the top of her cold water tap has come off and was gushing. I turned the water off and did what you said in this video and it’s stopped! OK it’s still going to need a plumber to replace the taps but it’s no longer an emergency call out as there are other bathrooms
Nice, glad it helped.:-)
Great tip Ollie 🌟. Best channel on RUclips 🔥👊
I appreciate that! Thanks. :-) I wish I could up my insta game. :-)
Hi mate, everything ok? Not had any vlogs for a while, really enjoy your content 👍🏼
Hiya heating geek do you do any work in the Nottinghamshire are at all?
Dude, you had a video where you draw cleanser? up inside the primary circuit by creating a vacuum via letting air out of the expansion vessel? It was genius if I remember correctly. Do you know which video that was? kind regards Robbie
BROTHER YOU SHOWED NICE THING, ,, HELPED US LOT.. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAM... I M FROM INDIA
No problem. :-)
Does this work the same with every tap or just this one? My tap won't turn off and its stuck, it doesn't turn at all
Do you do them on them lift up taps please
Thank you,. I replaced the cartridge in my mixer tap, turned the valve on at bottom and no matter what position the tap was in, water would just come out. Giving the cartridge a solid push sorted the problem.

When you back the the tube Olly?
To the best heating engineer on RUclips. Why have you deserted us. Please can you do some content.
Sorry I didn’t respond to this comment. I didn’t see it in my feed. :-(
When your next videos mate love to see more I have a question about a ideal mini hec28 the pin on the pump proving switch won’t come out to activate the micro switch ive changed diaphragm check for blockages also took the block out and bypass pipe out all ok only thing I haven’t done is changed the pump do you think it could be this
did you fix this in the end?
i have a problem: i have the same type of tap, except its only one tap not two. at 1:34, where you remove the screw and pull off the tap, i have already removed the screw. however the tap refuses to move and its stuck there and i cannot turn the tap any more. any ideas how to fix this?
edit: this has been fixed (i used a hammer to knock it out)
now my problem is at around 2:13 when you push the spindle down and turn it. my spindle cannot move or turn at all and i cannot press it down either.
Limscale remover and d40 type liquid even stainless steal cleaner
Bro. Thank u so much
God bless you sir
Boy they must be 40 plus years old. Will be a lot of fun trying to remove this seized cartridge !
Especially if you're a man of weed. Who could be bothered. :-)
Was waiting for you to knock the screw down into the plughole ;)
I would of just glued it on. ;-)
Great temporary fix - turns the water off, but when you use the tap again it starts leaking again unless you use the crescent each time after using
Sorry I didn’t respond to this comment. I didn’t see it in my feed. :-(
Is turning the handles inward [hot and cold] the most common way to open the water valves?
Sorry I didn’t respond to this comment. I didn’t see it in my feed. :-(
@@HeatingGeek lol, and this somehow answers my question? 🤔
Thanks a lot
Most welcome
How do you fix a stiff tap that's running (that doesn't turn off as it's stuck) please? Last time, I had to use a cloth to help close it but today it's even more stiff so I couldn't close it. The tap does not turn at all (it's just stiff and running).
Sorry I didn’t respond to this comment. I didn’t see it in my feed. :-(
Loverly olive bathroom! You out of isolation now oli?
Yeah, :-) Like getting out of prison. Been out for a week now. :-)
Where did the Heating Geeks go? 11 months and no new vids.
Very good content as always.👍
Thanks 👍
Is this the same with lever taps
No, you will probably need new cartridges
Tks
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
Missing your videos. Hope you return .
Im am back. ;-)
Where have you been matey I hope you’re okay all the best
Im back.
Said man miss your videos 🥺✋👍
Got some new ones. :"-)
Go for a coffee, say to customer " it's taking a long time for that reservoir to empty "
Smoke alarm needs a new battery as well! Or the budgie needs feeding!
😁
Hello Ollie hope your well! When is your next video?
It one a week at the moment
Snatch it, snatch it, snatch it.......nothing like a game of Russian roulette valve snatch to get the heart rate up.... 😂
Help me fix this: i over rotated a tap its one just like in the video but not for a sink, for the shower and its just rotating in one spot and i dont know why this happend before and i just changed the tap but now it happened again and im wondering if there is a fix.
Sorry I didn’t respond to this comment. I didn’t see it in my feed. :-(
@@HeatingGeek don`t worry. The problem was the grip on the tap got worn out and i just changed them.(eventually the main thing got worn out too se we just changed the whole thing with one that uses a different mechanism.)
When's the next video coming?
Any more videos coming mate ? 😃
Yes, I hope you have seen them. :-)
Hopefully your well, and going to make new videos.
Done some. :-)
Now is that my smoke alarm that needs a new battery or is it yours
Smoke alarm
where u gone broski
Spindles, groves try splines!
There you go :-) Brain fart
Where have you been . Not seen you in a while
Taking some time off. Need to spend some time with my family etc.
Just right. They grow up fast and you don't get a second chance
I don't suppose you got a video about the kitchen tap not triggering the boiler? Bathroom one does just not kitchen 😩
The tap is not powerful enough or you have cold blending into the hot. Usually this will happen in a wall mounted shower or a dush for cleaning your bum on the toilet.
Couldn't push and turn it after removing the top. Thing's stiff as a rock.
Been busy Ollie? Lol!
Heating season's crazy eh!
Guessing that's why you've not had time for any new vids!
Exactly. Flat out. :-)
What if the tap doesn't turn off even after the valve is fully shut though😮😮
Ollie where are you. Miss your videos mate.
Working... Tooo busy
@@HeatingGeek Good to hear you are ok and busy mate. Look forward to future vids very informative 👍
We don't have this sample in Germany because we heard of other technology!
Like what?
An excellent start.... other than needing to go pee, wondering what's next?
Sorry I didn’t respond to this comment. I didn’t see it in my feed. :-(
Not your usual boiler brilliance mr geeks! I norm service the tap takes 15 mins
I was running away from the boiler at this job. :-) Not there for the tap.
You run away never!!! Your the boiler whisperer
Where you been
Work Work Work
Doesn't any one clean & grease the cartridge anymore?
No it’s just as quick to change it
@@mynameis9739 Seems like that the way with most things now days, no wonder that more and more people are turning to DIY.
Why call a plumber when I can fix it myself? Thank you for showing what is wrong.
You'll need a plumber when you cant remove the taps or something under the floor starts leaking or some other problem happens. Trust me a local professional plumber is worth his weight in gold
Where you gone buddy?
I've been busy trying to make time. :-) I will be back though. ;-0
@@HeatingGeek Thanks for the reply! Look forward to your videos soon.
Where are you pal 🖐
Why waist water
That’s not a sink it’s a basin ,yes I know I’m a smart arse .That will only work on a non rising spindle if you check the circlip it’s probably slipped out of its groove.
yo upload again
surely this isnt your last video? 1 year ago? wots happening like?
I have zero free time. ZERO!!!!!. I shouldn't even take the 60seconds to reply to this. I have too many other things on my plate. I have 50-100 videos filmed just no time to edit and upload. I will be back.....
@@HeatingGeek Good to hear your well. When things change, or like yourself....Have a little break. People end up appreciating the stuff you do more.
Please come back when you can mate, we're getting bored of PB's videos 😏😏 besides he needs more competition 😂😂
@@kizzab93 I will be b ack soon. Definitely this year. :-)
@@kizzab93 What's PB up too?
Great, my taps now completely broken.
Thanks genius! 🤬
Happy to help.... It was broken before you started, :-)
It’s a Basin, Wash Basin or Wash Hand Basin. A Sink is a culinary appliance, generally found in a Kitchen or Utility Room.
I know that. :-) How much does it annoy you :-)
@@HeatingGeek I’m insane with rage Ollie!!! Here, fixing taps is a bit menial for someone of your skills, are you going to be plunging a Bog next??!!
@@TheDickPuller This happened on the Alpha boiler I ran away from job. I just thought I would film it as it happened,.
@@HeatingGeek well Ollie, as always it’s appreciated. I’m sure it must take a lot of time to edit & upload these videos👍
U used to work with my uncle little al fucking hell lol
Hows your toes? :-)
@@HeatingGeek jesus u remember that yea they're fine now lol
@@aaronchapman6994 I got given boots after that. :-) Uncle Al and Ed wasn't it?
@@HeatingGeek yea Eddie and Alan I started at T.A horn still in the game now 15 years lol
@@aaronchapman6994 Purdy? or somewhere wasn't it?
This is a disease caused by a few blokes and 3/4 or so of women.
The art of turning off a tap is to gently rotate it until the water stops coming out. Then about a quarter to a half turn to fully compress the washer. Most women, and a few guys, turn a tap until they cannot easily turn it further. At his point the rubber washer is past is elastic envelope and jammed against the platform of the inflow. The rubber is now past its functional range and deformed, It will begin to leak soon......
Gently PLEASE !!f
Come on now, It's a basin, not a sink🙄
100% agreemate.
Are you sure it's not a buffalo ? They are similar to a basin......or summat like that 😉
It was too easy. :-) Wait until I call a cylinder a boiler. :-0
@@timhancock6626 now, now Tim, you’re only confusing the course cowboys & career change chancers!!
Splines..
Indeed :-)
Waste , thatt sucks
turn off the water source first! Don't waste water
I had to change those taps before...
nightmare job 🔧🧰
Thing is I will never pay for a plumber lol
You will when the water is hitting the ceiling and starting to creep into your boots. :-)
