Hi,
The stopcock in my flat has started leaking - not a drip, but a steady flow. At first, this was coming out of the main tap in the kitchen. I closed the stopcock to take a look at it, and when I opened it again, it started leaking from the stopcock. The kitchen tap didn't stop. Can this be fixed simply, or is a plumber required? The flow diminishes the closer the stopcock is to closed, but doesn't stop until it's completely shut. Thanks for your help.
