You first need to establish what it is thats overflowing, toilet, tank etc.

If tank likely to be the ball valve.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, not too sure about anything you have just said.

As I said, the pipe outside leaks, that is all the plumbing knowledge I know, the flat seems to be okay water wise, how do I determine where this originates from; there is not water anywhere else???

sorry for being a total unkowledgable person!!

Cheers guys...George

Well we cant help without a little more information. Take a look at where the pipe is in association to things inside your flat.

Is it outside near boiler/toilet/or bathroom?

Is it copper?

Is it white or grey plastic?

Hope this makes it a little more clear as to the info we need.

I believe the sentence was not incorrect. If you are standing outside then you would want to know where the pipe leads to. Does it lead to the WC or...?
