A tap that drips can be annoying! Need an emergency plumber fast?
Taps are used several times every day, so problems are bound to develop occasionally. The two most common faults are drips from the tap spout and leaks from the tap spindle. To put things right, you need to know what sort of tap you are dealing with. Most taps that drip in our homes have a spindle mechanism that raises and lowers a small piston called a jumper, on the end of which is a rubber washer. This seals the water inlet inside the tap when it is turned off. Taps may have rising or non-rising spindles; you can tell which by turning the tap on and checking whether the handle rises perceptibly or not. Some Guildford homes still have the unique Supa tap with its overhead supply. On these, the washer is attached to an anti-splash device inside the rotating tap nozzle. New installations may have taps with ceramic discs instead of a washer. You can identify such taps by their action; they need only a quarter-turn from off to full on. Drips from the spout of a washered tap are usually caused by a worn tap washer or body. To replace a washer, first turn off the water supply to the tap concerned and open the dripping tap.
Our Guildford emergency plumber recommends removing the tap handle next. On old-style taps with rising spindles, this is usually held on by a small grub screw. If it is stuck fast, try running some penetrating oil down the spindle, pouring boiling water over it, or gripping it with an adjustable wrench after wrapping it in cloth to protect it. On modem taps with non-rising spindles, the handle may simply pull off or may be held on by a screw underneath the hot or cold indicator disc. Take this off with a small screwdriver. Now you can unscrew the tap mechanism anticlockwise.
In preliminary, when overhauling the tap that drips, it is imperative to turn off the water source to that tap. You can normally distinguish your dripping tap. Usually they have rubber washers or ceramic discs by turning the tap handle clockwise. If the tap has ceramic discs, then the handle will only turn ¾ or ½ turn. If the handle turns more than this, your tap will probably need new rubber washers. If you have a tap that drips, give us a call. Our Guildford emergency plumbers are always at hand.

Taps and valves
Taps and valves are used to control the flow of water through pipes, either to turn it off or completely reduce it.
Replacing different types of taps
There are many different designs of tap available in Guildford, and the one you choose will depend on the job you want it to do and the design you like. Older taps are likely to be the rising spindle kind but these have been widely replaced with shrouded-head taps with non-rising kindles. Many modern taps have ceramic discs, which do not need washing and require only 1/2 or 1/4 of a turn to operate.
How to replace single taps in an emergency without calling a plumber
Cold (blue) taps are pillar-mounted with a threaded portion passing through a hole in the sink, bath basin, or bidet and secured by a backnut underneath. The threaded portion is J/zin BSP (sink, basin, and bidet taps) or 3/un BSP (baths); sink taps are taller to allow room for a bucket underneath. Gib taps (often used for garden taps) screw directly into a special fitting, such as a wall plate elbow. Many kitchen sinks are fitted with Supa taps, which can be rewashed without turning off the water. These are no longer made, but replacement washers are still available in Guildford.
How to replace mixer taps in an emergency?
There are three main types of mixer taps: sink mixers, bath mixers, and basin/bidet mixer taps. Some sink mixers have two diverted flow pipes so that the hot and cold water do not mix until they have left the tap. This is important where the cold supply comes directly from the mains (as it usually does in a kitchen) and the hot water comes from the storage cistern. They can be either one-hole or two-hole mixer taps, depending on the make, style, and details of your sink. The standard tap fitting distance for the inlets on sin If mixers are 178mm (7in), most bath and basin mixer taps also have two inlets and one outlet, but two flows are allowed to mix freely. The difference between a bath mixer tap and a basin mixer tap is the spacing of the two inlets. 181mm (yi/sin) apart for baths; 102mm (4in) or 21 mm (sV4^) for basins. One-hole’ mixer taps are also available for basins and bidets. Bath/shower mixers have a connection for a shower hose and a diverter so that flow can be directed to the shower. Three-hole mixer taps have a third connection for a pop-up waste control and/or the spout. Most mixer taps have screwed BSP connections; some one-hole mixers have a plain copper tube, usually 15mm, but sometimes 12mm. Most mixer taps simply use the hot and cold knobs to control flow and temperature, but some modern one-hole mixer taps have just a single lever that does both. The rising spindle was the most popular tap in the 1980s. This tap had a cross-head; as the tap was opened and closed, the whole spindle would move.

How to Maintain and Remove the Radiator
At times, it is necessary to remove the radiator in order to paint or paper the wall behind it or to refinish the floor underneath it. Removing a radiator can be removed without the help of a plumber if you follow these tips. The radiator should not be removed when the heating system is turned on. At a time when the fire is low, turn off the valve controlling the admission of steam to the radiator and disconnect the valve from the radiator by unscrewing the hex union nut on the valve. Be sure to turn this nut in the right direction, as too much tightening may cause it to jam, making it impossible to remove without deforming it. The nut draws the nipple on the radiator side into the brass seat in the valve to form the union, which should be unscrewed in a clockwise direction when facing the valve.
