    I’m waiting for Tony Blackburn to return to the Saturday morning 60’s show, I can’t settle with Jonny Walker, it’s not the same.
    Come back Tony all is forgiven. 🍻👍👍👍👍

    Our outside tap is dripping and spraying for days now from the join to the bit that sticks out the wall if that makes sense

      A frozen split. You will have to renew the fitting.

    I had same issue. It kept seeping a few month. Got new one for 20£ and fitted it with a few turn of wrench. Should be good for a few Years now hopefully.

    The weather looks nice there😍. My neighbour's been using my outside tap without permission and I'm on a water meter! I don't have a stop tap to turn it off without turning all my water off, is there anything I can lock it with? Thanks😊. It's a fair distance from my house, 1/2 acre away!

    Hi Al. Wonder if you can help at all. We need to take the bath out to do a job but we might need to leave the bath out for a few days. Is there a way we can still have our water turned on while the bath is out maybe capping the bath pipes off or something? Sorry if it's a silly question but I really don't know lol.

      You should be able to use push-fit fittings to temporarily cap the water supply. Easy to put on & no soldering required.

      The washer in the tap or the isolation valve is not fully on.

      Is the o/side tap from the Mains Pressure, or, as some are from a Header Tank?

    Your average cheap reseating tool costs from about £11 - £14 and upwards. A new tap will set you back about £8. Just saying.

    You forgot to tell them that you must turn off the supply to the o/side tap!

    • @dereton33

      Only when you do the washer or reseat the tap . I did say there should be an isolation tap inside the house.

      It would have been better to have made that the first instruction.
