Mains Water Stopcock — Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my stopcock located?
Common locations include under the kitchen sink, in a utility cupboard or near where the mains pipe enters the property. There is usually an external stop tap in the street as well.
What if I can’t turn the stopcock?
Do not force it — this can cause damage. We can free a seized valve or replace it with a modern, easy-turn unit.
Can you replace a stopcock without shutting off the street main?
Often yes, using freezing or other approved methods. If we need the external main isolated, we’ll advise the best approach.
How long does a replacement take?
Most replacements take around 60–90 minutes, depending on access and pipework condition.
Do you provide emergency attendance?
Yes — we offer 24/7 emergency response for leaks and stuck stop taps nationwide.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, all work is covered by our workmanship guarantee, using durable, compliant components.
