Its a small terraced house with the old system of supplying the cold water to the upstairs bath, toilet and hand basin from a water tank in the loft.
The cold water tap in the basin in the bathroom sometimes does not supply any water when first turned on.
When no cold water comes out, then going and opening the cold water Bath Tap the bath tap works fine. A short while after that the cold water basin tap then supplies water.
Any ideas what is going on here ?
