Decided to renovate our downstairs loo - found there are no isolation valves. Tried to turn the gate valve in the loft - it's stuck solid. Funily enough the one next to it which feeds the hot is no problem and turns easily.
After getting a spanner under the wheel (square bit) , it is beginning to move but only a little at a time, going bac and forth.
Is it worth putting oil down the shaft - say olive oil ? will that reach the part that's stuck ?
