Called out to deal with an emergency situation when our stop tap was inaccessible. Billy came out straight away, dealt with the situation and was very reasonably priced. Top service and would definitely recommend.

Damian was fab. Friendly and competent, and was available to come round exactly when we needed him. When he went to get a part he came straight back, and made sure we had the water on while he was gone. He showed us where our stopcock was (new house and we had no idea!) and even did a little non-emergency job while he was here. Thanks!

Renault came and managed to remove the old appliance connections that had become too tough to remove. Good thing we had called for help as the valve snapped whilst trying to get the connections undone. Thank you, we can now schedule the redelivery and fitting of appliance.

Stopcock FAQs – Sheffield & South Yorkshire

Answers to the questions customers ask before booking.

Where is my stopcock?

In most homes it’s under the kitchen sink. It can also be in a downstairs toilet, a utility room, a cellar or near where the water supply enters the house.

Why won’t my stopcock turn?

Stopcocks that aren’t used for years often seize up. Don’t force it with tools, as it can snap and make things worse. Call us and we’ll free it or replace it.

My stopcock is leaking – is it urgent?

A small drip from the spindle can get worse over time and damage cupboards or flooring. It’s best to get it checked before it becomes a bigger leak.

Should I replace an old stopcock?

If it’s seized, leaking or doesn’t shut the water off fully, replacing it means you can turn your water off quickly in an emergency, such as a burst pipe or a leaking toilet.

What about the stop tap outside?

The outside stop tap is usually under a small cover near your property boundary and is often the water company’s responsibility. Check with your water company if it needs work.

Do you charge for call-outs?

No. We never charge for call-outs, and we offer free estimates.
