Our kitchen tap has a pull-out hose. This has developed a leak and needs replacing. Ordinarily this would be a "5 minute job" (or possibly 15), but I'm having difficulty loosening the connection under the sink due to the proximity of the pipework. I'm not competent or confident enough to disconnect and reconnect everything, and therefore if one of NSC's resident plumbers would like to earn some money, I'd be very happy to pay you.

Thanks!

Having removed the split hose, locating a replacement is proving to be a right royal PITA due to a non-standard connection rather than a BSP one.

Rather than faff around with it (we never used the attachment) I've bought an entire new tap (without spray hose). If any of our resident plumbers want to earn a few quid fitting it, the money's there for the taking.

I wondered if this was code for 'I need a male lead in an arty film I am making'.

Where in BN1 are you?
Obviously don’t put your address on here but the BN1 postcode covers a large area of Brighton.

You can do it mate as you live in Brighton, I would help if the OP really cannot find anyone.
I don’t really work in Brighton, only the outskirts and that’s if I can park, do you have a traders parking permit?
