Hi I have an outside tap that has suddenly stopped working.
Tap has been taken off and there is no water flow and has not been turned off under the sink it’s all on as it should be.
Has t been used over the winter but now wanting to use ready for spring/summer.

Any ideas?

Service/isolating valve for outside tap -- need advice
Hello guys, a couple of months back I installed a new shower and sink into a part of the house that hadn't previously been plumbed in. This forced me to run some pipes outside the walls, so I put in stopcocks at the point where the new pipework joins the old Just In Case. I used copper pipe and...
