PLUMBING GUIDANCE

Taps & internal pipework

For a dripping tap or leaking connection, identify the fixture and whether the issue affects hot water, cold water or both. A photograph of accessible fittings is more helpful than guessing which part needs replacing.

Useful next steps

Note whether a single outlet is affected or whether the change is happening throughout the property. Check your supplier's updates for a wider interruption.

Explain any access limitations, such as boxed-in pipes, fitted cupboards or an appliance in front of a connection. Avoid dismantling fixtures just to take a photo.

Keep a record of previous work and visible model details. Parts and repair options should be assessed before a scope or price is agreed.

To identify the appropriate water or wastewater provider, use Water UK's postcode lookup. A town name alone is not a reliable way to choose a provider.
