the stop cock seems to be working fine, yet water continues to leak from the overflow from the main water tank, any ideas!

Water is obviously getting into the tank then. :LOL: :LOL:

Try bending the arm so that it shuts the water off 1 inch below overflow.
If no joy, change the washer in the valve. :D
 
there seems to be a rush of questions.....just after the school bus drop off, and ends when the simpsons start. :idea:

maybe its me... :oops: :oops: :cry:

.. u can check the stopcock as much as u like,, its the ballvalve you need to repair! :LOL:
 
There could be a split in your heating coil, the boiler could be boiling over, there could be a thermostatic shower passing causing your tank to back fill. This is only for Hot water and heating header tanks.
 
Just for anyone looking for possible problems in the future thats why replys are kept on.

Hi Firthhog - There could be a split in your heating coil, the boiler could be boiling over - I think this is the case with my boiler - ive been advised i need a new boiler does this sound correct or is there another way to fix it?
 
This seems a little expensive for a domestic indirect vented cylinder to be changed I would get a few more quotes. Were abouts do you live as you might be aware the cost of trades men varies through out the UK.
