How to fix a dripping kitchen tap?
It’s a mixer tap but only the hot tap drips. Cold is fine. You have to turn the hot tap handle really tight to stop it and then it’s a pain to turn back on next time.

Shower trap issue
Hi, we recently moved into our current house. The bathroom has now an awful sewer smell. On inspection we found it to be coming from the shower drain (walk in shower - tiled floor). I lifted the grill and saw no water seal - no sitting pool of water - and it looks like the shower trap has been removed. Water flows directly down and so it looks like the smell is coming directly from the sewer. My newborn sleeps close by and so my wife is very worried now! However, I have no idea how to get this fixed/replaced as I can't find the brand name on any of the bathroom fixtures. Any help/advice hugely appreciated....

Can a main service pipe to a property be partially installed above ground
I have an iron main water pipe serving our property but flats have been built over the pipe so the pipe is situated under our neighbours drive way. Bristol water have said we can cap the iron pipe off and divert it up into our property and connect it to an internal stop tap. The pipe would come out of the ground and would need a white external box connected to it to then run through our home. It’s the first time I’ve ever have come across this issue within thesny years of living in my property the work to replace a pipe under a concrete slab foundation doesn’t sound cheap. What are my options was Bristol water safe to say this obviously they know their stuff more than me. I’m neurodivergent and I am highly anxious about the repairs and cost I can’t sleep at night the noise is triggering I keep thinking the worse can someone please reply
