The house I live in has the stopcock plastered into the wall by the previous owner. I have a mains water leak in the system after the meter( which I’ve been using to switch off water supply when needed) The waterboard wont come out to test if it’s a leak until I can isolate the house via a stopcock. I have fitted a sure stop to what I thought was the water inlet above the broken old stopcock. It worked for a few days then stopped the day the water board visited to check for the leak!!!!!
Does anyone else use this as a replacement stopcock or should I cut out both and replace piping and old style stopcock! It’s in a really awkward place to get to should I need it in a hurry, hence the idea of the sure stop with its movable switch? Ps the water board confirmed I have a leak between the meter and the house so that’s another issue? Finding it!??????
