Isolate the hot supply and strip the tap, you'll probably find the tap washer or jumper has come off. Replace or re-assemble.

hi,
just to let you know managed to fix tap,it was missing a small copper clip at top of barrel,it held it all together when you opened tap.so much for the plumber i called in.won't ever ask him back...
