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.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
