    So this morning I had the washing machine going on one full wash, and 2 kids had showers that lasted an hour and a half! (i know) so then I went to have my shower and no water. Now I left it for the afternoon, and I've come home and the hot water tap keeps spluttering but its not a fast flow and the shower has hardly anything. the kitchen cold tap is flowing perfectly, and the toilets are flushing just fine.

    Has anyone any clue what I need to do? could it possibly be an air block? Hope someone here can help?

    just in case it was a stuck ballcock cosider getting it replaced or at the very least try oiling where the arm moves on its hinge to try and loosen it up , i find sometimes once they stick once it happens again quite easily .

    An hour and a half for showers!!!! On a sideways topic......you need to review that!!! No need.....apart from the cost factor, the waste of water etc. A shower should last no more than 10 mins max. I usually time it for 7 mins....more than enough unless you work down a coal mine! Just a thought!
