Believe it or not i contacted 3 or 4 and he was cheapest.

£70 that was for the valve and the tap fitting. (Which I supplied)

He did say he was flat out last time he was here but did say keep an eye on it. And he has said he'd come back. Bit dissaponted this is ongoing but at the same time glad he hasn't just ignored my calls and has been willing to come back. Thank you for the input guys. I mean genuinely I am very...

New olives? I have spoken to him and he said it sounds like the existing piece of copper pipe the valve was reconnected to. Does this sound right? Also how much will a new bit of copper pipe cost me? It must be about 6". You can see it in the picture above.

He came back and tightened it but it's still leaking and I can see that it is leaking from on top of the top nut. What needs to be done to stop this? because it seems just tightening it won't do it

I thought the same but it's what he had so I thought as long as it gets fixed so be it. Hopefully it does just need tightening and he can do it because I'm a bit dubious to touch Anything now in case they refuse to fix it as I've tampered with it

This is what it looks like And it's leaking from the top nut

It looks the same as this http://www.screwfix.com/p/isolating-valve-15mm-2-pack/65251?tc=CT2&ds_rl=1245250&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhMngrbC01gIVQrHtCh1kpgiREAQYASABEgLHkvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CPq8qLGwtNYCFaeJ7Qod5UQJhA

Ok thank you. So I will need to call him back in I take it?

Hello We got a plumber in to change the gate valve and tap. There was a bit of water in the flexi hose yes but that seems like it. I have noticed since the valve was changed (about 24 hours ago) the valve has been dropping a bit. Maybe 5-20ml of water in 24 hours. Is this normal? Will it...

Hello Other taps and central heating works fine.

And how am I supposed to attach it to the taps ?

I did try to do that (drain the hot water). After I turned the gate valve off. But I don't know how to connect a hose to the taps?

Ok so please tell me, how do I isolate the hot water if the valve is broken?

The one on the left doesn't work which is the hot and the one on the right does which is the cold. Can they be replaced?

Nothing comes out

It's me of these http://www.handymanknowhow.co.uk/plumbing/stopcock(2)150.jpg

Hello I just went to change my kitchen tap but had to abort as I was struggling to undo a nut so thought I'd save it for another day. Problem is I used the stop cock to turn the hot water off under the sink and when I turned it back on again the hot water is not coming out the tap. Any ideas?

That has done the trick. Is this a common issue then? Must admit the old boiler used to seem to be very hot upstairs. But the boiler was 20 + years old and needed replacing

Hello We just had a new combi boiler fitted in our rental property. I have noticed that the water in the kitchen gets very hot, so hot you cannot keep your hand under it. But the water upstairs in the bathroom is not as hot. I'd say it's quite warm but I can literally run the hot water for the...
