Hi all,
Needing to move a stopcock that's currently hidden in the kitchen cupboard as it'll soon be in the way of a set of patio doors..
That stopcock is attached to a pipe coming up from the foundations and is a cold water main that does the west side of the house (only a 3 bed, nothing fancy!). There's a separate stopcock in the downstairs bathroom which does cold water for the boiler and the east side of the house. No problem I thought, I'll switch off in the street. Dug out the long t handle key, switched off, but it only turned off the east side. West side remains on! Wandered up and down the street opening various hatches but can't for the life of me find an external stopcock for that tap.. going to give Scottish Water a ring to see if they have any ideas, only other options I think are freezing or an Aladdin easyfix - suggestions welcome!
Anyone seen anything similar before? It's definitely not a retrofit given how it comes in to the sink and the house has always been just one house.. 1960s built.
