That's what I said as well newboy, you can see a drip on the top stopcock,looks like money might be wasted there,you and I know, say if a wc is leaking they always say it's from the pan connector when usually the water is dripping down on to it.
Stopcock. 2 taps on same feed, the 1st needs replacing rough cost?

You need to get onto the water co. It's their responsibility to enable you to shut off the water completely.

Good news! No more leaking/flooding in the kitchen

I think I'll re-visit my insurance options again....
This is what they did in the end:

The earth wire connection looks a bit suspect though !!!
It looks like it is just twisted on the pipe rather than the proper connector.

Except that red flagged bonding strap are designated for areas not subject to moisture (looks a bit damp at the back that cupboard)
Green flagged bonding straps are for areas subject to moisture/corrosive environments.
And one day I'll take the time to find out what the differences in construction of the bonding straps are!

Funnilly enough, had to find out about that a while back when doing my Part P (DS). Doesn't seem to be any standard that mentions them but believe the general take is:
Red is Dry
Blue is Wet + Corrosive
Green is Wet + Corrosive with larger bonding connector (16mm2)
Wonder if there's any electrical chaps that can confirm if there is a standard?

Well one learns something new everyday !!
thanks for that information, I just thought an earth bonding strap was just what it says on the label, ( times do change)
The Earth bonding cable looks a bit dodgy as well, being wet I would have thought it could rust and break off, especially as it appears just to be twisted onto the lead pipe.
I`ve just looked in my Tool Box and found two Earth Bonding straps that are plain silver ( No Colour)
am I still allowed to use them, or would I be Incarcerated in Prison for life !!!
