Morning, I have a single lever mixer tap and I need to replace the cartridge to fix a drip. I've attached some photos but I can't see any screws or nuts so I can remove the lever. Anyone has any ideas how to remove it please ?

No need for responses. I swapped it out this morning successfully.

Thanks, my replacement valve is cooper and will fit to the existing cooper pipe. For that reason do you think I could just swap it as is?

Hi, tomorrow I'm going to replace my faulty toilet fill valve as my current one is faulty. My issue is looking at the cooper pipe which connects to my existing valve.

That's the most frustrating thing. Welsh water isn't saying a lot. They come to flush the outside pipes go away and do the same thingmmm but have rung them today asking to speak to a manger to get a definitive answer or plan. I've put a non return valve thinking it was my washing machine as...

Water is from the mains.

About a month ago our water in our house started to taste really stale/metallic. We've been at the property for 6 years and never had this issue. We contacted welsh water who have flushed our mains outside to no effect. Our neighbors house is empty (semi detached house) so not sure if they are...

Hi all, I need to change a bathroom pull cord switch as my current one is faulty. I need to turn off the electrics in my bathroom but i cannot find the pull switch in the fuse board to do this. I can only see the fuse.... I thought each fuse (switches, cookers) should have a pull switch? Or...

Hi everyone, I have a single lever kitchen tap which is slowly dripping water. I have changed valves and washers in taps before to fix these type of issues but I am having a problem on how just to dismantle this particular tap. My problem is that I cannot find a hole...gub screw.. anywhere on...
