I can recommend Mrs Wyrdness's dad. He's in Bermondsey, but will travel.

I'll pm you his phone number, if you want.

Dear god, need a plumber for a dripping tap, what is the world coming to.

Turn off your water, remove the tap guts, change the washer. put back tap and turn on water.

Already tried that I'm afraid. Didn't work. Looks like I need a new cartridge.

That's what I've ended up doing. I didn't know what make the original tap was, so it saves me having to try and find the exact type of cartridge, etc. Just got to fit it now!

Must say a big thank you to Mrs Wyrdness's plumber dad, who helped me out with advice. Ta.

The dripping tap on Masons hill would probably have the parts you are looking for.

That seems about right. But you cant get parts for all taps. Knowing yours, they were original to the house...they still have a pump handle on the side dont they?
