Hi all I'm hoping someone can shine a light on this for me
Since our stop tap on the pavement has now been filled with sand for whatever reason, we are relying on our property fitted stopcock (this is outside on our garage wall)
Unfortunately turning this to the closed position only reduces the flow of water and doesn't stop it completely. Obviously this would be a real problem if we ever sprung a leak!
Before I get someone in I wondered if someone had seen one of these before? I was thinking of making sure whoever fitted it hadn't simply put the valve tap on the wrong way that is then stopping it from fully closing? I notice the head of the valve is only attached using a Philips head screw. Is it worth taking this out and putting it in the other way just in case?
The neighbour reckons whoever fitted these fitted them all Incorrectly as his doesn't work either
Any advice would be great
Many thanks
