The internal stop cock is leaking under the kitchen sink. My office in the cellar is now getting soaked, not to mention the kitchen carpet/units.
United Utilities won't come out and turn off the external stop cock so I can make a repair. I can't even see the external stock cock down the inspection hole as it's full of silt. I've had a poke around but ........
I could do with some kind of really long-handled ladel thingy to draw the silt out of the hole to expose the tap.
They now say that they can send a guy to inspect the key/silt situation. But it may take 3 months.
That's really nice chaps. Thanks for that.
Any ideas please regarding excavating buried stop cocks so I can make some headway? My plumber says that freezing can be dodgy on old plastic incoming pipes. If it doesn't hold I could be in for a big flood.
