Hi all experts, hoping you can help...
I've had the attic hatch opened up for the past month or so. The ballcock valve and float had to be replaced on the cold water tank as it was leaking all down the side (but that's another story). I was at work so a plumber did the necessary. I was up there every so often making sure the floor was drying OK, and saw that the F&E tank was now half-full so off to B&Q for replacement float valves etc. All good now (old systems!).
Anyway, while I've been coming and going, I've noticed that there's a steady drip from the brand new float intake into the cold water tank, every 7 seconds or so. The level is not going up as far as I can tell - and is certainly nowhere near the overflow even after a weekend away. I've been all over the house looking for leaks (taps, toilets, under carpets etc), but no luck. Anything obvious I might be missing?
