Stopcock does not work
- Thread starter Dammit
- Start date
Pipework look pretty old and £ucked. Need to get main communal stopcock off to avert ending up having to do this in an emergency capacity.
Send the photos to your managing agent and ask them to sort out isolation at least, or they could share the cost of getting a new stopcock onto the pipework at some point where the thread can be undone on an elbow or straight threaded coupling somewhere.
Not a DIY job on pipework this old and crusty.

I'm going to have to speak to the managing agent tomorrow anyway, we've discovered another (this makes 3!) water source coming into the flat.
The new one is in 2" galvanised steel pipe which runs floor to ceiling with one spur coming off it.
The spur goes to copper after a (leaking) stopcock, which then disappears behind the sink- presumably to nowhere.
I've been upstairs and checked with the two flats above me- neither of them use it, or the soil stack it runs alongside.
Just need to check with the flat beneath, and then turn it off at the tank, then cut it and cap it.
