    Hi, for the past month, the water out of the hot water kitchen tap has just being dribbling out. The cold water is fine. All the bathroom taps are fine too- both hot and cold coming out normally. It's a bungalow. I'm wondering if anyone knows why the kitchen hot water tap is just dribbling out, maybe I can fix it myself or do I need to call a plumber. Thanks for reading

    Likely an airlock, there's a number of ways to fix it, most of the easy ways (cover the tap and run cold) don't work on modern mixer taps due to non-return valve, but essentially you need to run high water pressure (mains pressure is usually enough) through the pipe to clear it.
