Hi All,


My tap started dripping yesterday and today it is dripping considerable faster. Do not want to get the to the stage where I have to turn the water off as it is gushing out during Christmas. I have tried my usually DIY guy but he is booked up until the new year so is there a plumber or advanced DIYer who can fix it asap. I can pay in cash rather than transferring it electronically if that swings your availability. Or if anyone knows anyone with availability please shout out.


Thanks you so much.

Here's a nice dishy fella giving a tutorial about how to fix a leaky tap.


The one here is a rubber traditional tap washer. Ceramic taps are a little simpler but needs a more specialist part - eg from the tap doctor.

There is a general point about why we are becoming a less practical nation - not a specific go at you, but a Readers Digest DIY manual always comes in useful. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=readers+digest+diy+manual+2020&i=stripbooks&adgrpid=100892319021&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2ZCOBhDiARIsAMRfv9JOzemvazKTariINtmDSNxENyoTsLuBI3iz_ayOymsKJtnELrSHBBYaAu-DEALw_wcB&hvadid=448031438305&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9045880&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=6011028487553365787&hvtargid=kwd-1210707735589&hydadcr=24458_1816148&tag=googhydr-21&ref=pd_sl_6on6a0o7k9_e_p50

Did you solve your dripping tap?


the pipes that connect to our taps have isolators so if there's a problem you can turn tap off there to solve the problem temporarily rather than turn all the water off.take a look under the sink you might be in luck.


See badly taken picture below or DM me if you need more advice.


Otherwise i'd also recommend Nico.

    • Things have changed a lot since the 2024 election. But the trends even in that period are very clear.  <iframe height="537px" width="100%" src="https://www.ons.gov.uk/visualisations/dvc3411/fig01/index.html"></iframe> This graph shows the trajectory and it's very bad news for housebuilders and the housing market.  
    • How widely are people aware of Royal Mail's sending service - if it's a parcel you can pay and print off label at home and just drop off. link below. They will even pick it up for a small extra charge (maybe even free depending on item). I did this on Monday and was aiming to drop off at LL PO but saw the queue was stretching way out into the street so diverted over to corner shop in Upland Road and dropped it off there.  https://send.royalmail.com/?cid=SM_RMP_0223&s_kwcid=AL!10933!3!781157212692!b!!g!!royal mail tracked 48&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23192018280&gbraid=0AAAAADnU4TDfp6wGzzGiPexY0ahf0UnAT&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyP3KBhD9ARIsAAJLnnYKkFDCIiPu21DB_Iv_oQaBMiAsWz8toFN1mHaGgYdQFRc5U9UfZ8MaApJpEALw_wcB It might help morale if they got their sign fixed. It's been like this since before Christmas.
    • Elon Musk's 'X', rapidly spreads misinformation, hate speech, harassment and enables the creation and distribution of deepfakes. It is in my opinion, having a malign influence on society. Recently it has been reported that 'Grok' (it's AI function) allows people to create sexualised images of children. It is disgraceful that the UK government isn't taking any action to regulate the platform, in the absence of their putting reasonable controls in place themselves. At the very, very least, the UK government and our MPs should not be actively supporting 'X' by using it themselves. If you agree, I would encourage you to write to Ellie Reeves demanding some action (she posts regularly on the platform). Her email address is [email protected]
    • Only tend to use Lordship Lane if necessary opting for  Denmark Hill. Or Little Hut (near Nat West Bank, Peckham) who have longer opening hours and offer  Royal mail, Yodel, Inpost.
