The problem most likely is a clogged aerator. That is the part that sticks out of the faucet that the water comes out of. You need to unscrew it, take it apart, and then remove any particles that are inside. Sometimes the easiest solution is to buy a new aerator at a hardware store. Take the old one in to make sure you get one that will fit.
Before replacing the aerator, run the faucet without it for a minute or so to clear out any remaining debris.
Unscrewing the aerator: Looking down on the faucet from above the sink, turn the aerator (which will be on the far side of the faucet) clockwise to remove it. You may have to grab it (carefully) with a pair of pliers. Close the drain before you do this so you don't loose any parts down the drain.

Installed new single lever faucet. Cold water pressure great. Only trickle from hot.

Blocked inside the tap on hot waterside could be some packing in there

Why is there water coming from base of cold tap in bathroom when turned on. When turned off it's dry.

Possibly coming from neck of tap, slyly creeping its way down via the body, then appearing to trickle off the base.
Ifthe O-ring at the top end of the tap is worn, or the shaft-wot-the-handle-fits-onto is worn, then water flow can cause some water to be pushed upward, via the top section.
Try tightening the top nut clockwise.

I have a LG Punch WF-C5856TC washing machine. Off late, Notice that the water is trickling in rather than flowing. Hence it takes really really long time to wash clothes. Pls advise

The first place to look is the inlet tap in the wall
even you have the tap on full the tap washer inside jams and prevents the full flow of the water
next check out the filter in the hose at the tap or at the washing machine end
next replace the water inlet solenoid
you can check this by changing the hose from the hot water tap onto the cold water tap and pressing the hot water button to fill
solenoids do not know the difference , they just work when the power is applied

We can hear water running but it's not filling the wash tub. There is no water leaking anywhere.

check that the tap is fully opened , the filter in the end of the hose is not blocked
check that the tap washer is not jammed off in the tap as they can expand and not move up to let water in
check water inlet solenoid is functional

I have a Vaillant Combi boiler, recently serviced by British Gas, given all clear. Problem we are having is the downstairs hot water tap it is a mixer tap, the cold water is fine but the hot water is

Boilers are inherently dangerous for the average DIY for so many reasons, contact British Gas and have them come back and fix it, tell them it was fine before the "service". They may simply have a control valve shut off.

Water Trickling in on a MW512

there is a valve where the hoses hook up to the washer its probably going bad

Cold water is trickling in want to clean filter/screen where and how too

There is probably a filter built into the inlet valve where the hose screws onto it. There may be a filter/seal where the hose screws onto the tap. If there is water pressure to the inlet valve, it could be that the inlet valve itself is faulty........Generally a simple job.......Good luck...Nomess

No water pressure

Check all valves are open, cold in bottom, pushes hot out top, and if cold at tap is doing same, take aerator off tap and see what happens. Is same thing happening at all taps?

A trickle of hot water from taps, central heating ok

it sounds like your shut off valve might be bad even though it turns on and off by turing it doesn't mean that the washer is not stuck to the seat and not opening, try replacing the valve
