Make sure your hydrangeas are sufficiently watered. As the name implies, hydrangeas love their water and I heard about the 'dry spell' the UK is currently experiencing. Mine need to be watered everyday. Also they can't take long periods of direct sun.

Lavender munstead. Do I cut back once it’s finished flowering? »
Leave them - the theory is that the dead flowers will help protect growth buds lower on the stem during winter, which will leaf out next spring.
