how longs the problem been like this? have you just fitted a new set of taps?
the fittings you used might have a non return valve in and if you have low pressure on the hot water side then it might struggle to get thru the taps.
give more info on what appen and when. |

this isolation valve, is it a chrome thing with a slot under the tap? it sounds like the hot side of the sink taps have gone out of sync.
take the head off the tap and have a look at the cartidge, you can buy replacements from plumbers merchants, but only start the job if your good at that sort of thing and you know where to turn the water off.
youd be good under interrogation, you would.... dont like giving too much away, do you?  |
