Hello all,
Successive plumbers have been unable to locate an internal stopcock for my house, so have always turned my water off from the street, so I have followed suit. However, today I have discovered it full of sludge (and ants) and despite my best efforts of remove it all, I can't turn the valve to shut off my water.
Does anyone anyone know whose responsibility it is to maintain this is? Me, the council, or the waterboard?
Also, is it generally extremely pricey to get an internal stopcock fitted? As this is finally starting to become tedious.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
