    Can you give a little more info?

    Is it a single lever faucet? Does it have a hose coming out of main part of faucet?
    Can you give us make and model?

    I don't know what a council fitting is mmm and I do plumbing

    Often on single lever faucets they get stiff inside and stop turning on and off all the way. Sometimes it just requires taking it apart and lubing inside with plumbers grease and all is well. In single lever many times the setscrew that is underneath the handle that hidden behind a very small pop out cap gets loose and the handle doesn't fully operate. Since we really not sure what you have I posted some vids that may help you out
