Wondering if someone might be able to shed some light on what might be happening here, with the caveat that it is a pretty minor issue!
About a week ago, we had a Caple mixer tap fitted as part of a new kitchen fit. All has worked well with it so far. However, this morning I've noticed it is dripping slightly, and I mean slightly. It'll drip a couple of times when it's turned off, then you can see a drip slowly accumulate on the end of the tap until it just stops and hangs there.
A couple of things have happened in the last couple of days, and I just wondered if they might have had an effect:
1) There was a burst pipe near the reservoir that serves our area the day before yesterday. We had poor water pressure, then light brown coloured water for a while after. United Utilities fixed the issue and all returned to normal it seems, although some in the area still have no water or poor pressure.
2) We had two new radiators fitted, and I've noticed the boiler pressure is a little higher than it was before (about 1.4 bar when cold, compared to 1 bar when cold previously).
I wondered if either of these could make any kind of difference? Hoping it's not anything to do with washers, cartridges etc with the tap being so new!
