    Kitchen mixer tap squeals and leaks when other taps get used.

    Sorry for delay and image quality. As you can see from 1st image, there is a small gap between the cold handle and the body of the tap. The screw in the second image is breaking when using a screwdriver and won't budge. Cheers

    Could anyone tell me if this is wrong install.

    Had a leak (showing from tundish) when hot water was on and had a plumber out to see if they could sort it, PRV was required and he would need to order it, came back a few days later and said that was wrong size of pipe, it should have been 22mm rather than the 15mm and probably wouldn't be...
