Welcome to the forum.
Any chance of a photo of offending tap?

Change the taps, less hassle and more cost effective.

However the prongs of the handle may unscrew.

Could just need a strong upwards 'yank' if no fixing is visible. has it got a manufacturers name on it?

OK I'll try this when I get home and have a look for manufacturer mark. I did tentatively try pulling up the tap but water started to flow from the tap instead of the slow dripping !

You may have 'tamper proof' tap handles.
You need a tool that fits under the handle and un-screws the tap handle.

Hard to explain but that's probable what you need

try putting a shifter under heads and hitting up the way with hammer could be push on fit failing that with water isolated turn heads in a anti clockwise direction quite roughly and it may unscrew have seen this before usually more so with cheap imported taps all the best..brum

one of the cross bars unscrew revealing a hex grub screw or its a push fit.

i would try this first then get a crow bar under it as i would have given up by then and bought some new ones to the cost of the valves.
