domestic hot water

[mickcoulson]

hi..............can any body point me in the right direction
the hot water tap on my bathroom washbasin keeps slowing down to a trickle.the other taps and shower are ok. i backflush the system from the cold tap in the kitchen and the tap will be ok for about a week then suddenly the flow drops again.
cheers

sounds like you may have some floating debris in the hot pipework. Next time it slows I`d have a look inside the tap - or take off the flexi pipe feeding it (if you have one) and see if there is a mouse skull Yes ,I really did find one once - it was in a bath tap tho`.OR it might even be the flexi closing up inside - Please tell me there are flexis connecting the taps

yes they are flexi pipes but i only changed them about a month ago
