How to fix a leaking / dripping tap?

If fitted correctly, there will be two isolation valves within the cupboard of the unit. These can be turned either by a lever valve with the hand, or a quarter turn isolation valve with a screwdriver. Depending on what tap is fitted, would depend on how to repair the tap. A tap on a rubber washer can be easily replaced without changing the tap or cartridge. A quarter turn tap would normally mean it's working off a plastic cartridge. The cause for the trip could be many different reasons and for this we recommend replacing the cartridge. If for whatever reason a new cartridge is not available for the tap, then we would be required to replace the unit.

What are the common causes of blocked drains?

The cause of a blocked drain could be one of many different factors. Food waste down a kitchen sink, hair build up in a bath or a shower, or anything but toilet roll down a toilet! All this added together will effectively reduce the flow of the waste water and make excess waste build up quicker and quicker which will cause the pipes to block.
