have a bit more of an update now. After a call via the estate agents we have found the stop cock. It seems they boxed it in but didn't put any easy access to it or make it obvious where they had put it. We have managed to top up the pressure on the boiler and that is fine but still with...

not sure how well qualified the council guy was but that's three of us had a look and so sign of the stop cock, i''ll double check the raising mains again as it should be near where the pipe enters the building but I think that just goes to the pipework for the sink. Having a look through...

the maintenance guy from the council has been round. He's checked too and knows where they should be in all the flats. It seems that there isn't one in this flat at all. There is no communal one and now three of us have checked all the pipework and it seems there isn't one fitted. Not sure...

checked them all, even the ones high up. Whoever had the flat last has had new units fitted and it looks like a lot of the pipework has been boxed in. I can see behind the units with a torch but can't see the stop cock anywhere. It's def not in the bathroom, or the cupboard with the boiler so...

unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one inside the cupboard. We can turn the gas and electric off but not the water !! The pipes all run along one side of the flat and we've followed them from the sink to the washing machine to the boiler and onto the bathroom and still can't locate...

thanks swidders that's cleared it up for me. All I need to do now is check with neighbours \ council and find out how to turn the mains off then I am away. Any more problems I will let everyone know but I think I have all the info I need now to start work once I can get the water off...

if you check the part above I was going to replace all of that. Didn't realise I could just replace the part with the pressure valve on it !! In that case it seems all I need to do is the following then turn off stop cock once we find it drain the system via the taps until we get no...

thanks for the info. We can't seem to find the stock cock. She isn't on a water metre and i've followed all the pipework and there is no stop valve anywhere !! I know some ex council places the whole block needs to be turned off so we are going to check with them and see what they have to say...

Hi We have a Baxi 105e combi boiler, not the instant one. The pressure has dropped on this and so we need to top this up. The filling loop is quite old and on there like a flat head screw that we should be able to turn to top up the pressure. This is so old that is has become burred by the...
