Seized or leaking stopcock replaced in Aberdare and the Cynon Valley
The main stop tap replaced so the water can actually be turned off in a hurry.
How you know you need it
It will not turn, or it turns and the water keeps running, or it weeps from the spindle whenever you touch it.
Why people put it off
It is invisible under the sink and nobody thinks about it — until the day of a burst pipe, when it is the only thing that matters.
What is involved
Replacing the stop tap, usually with a lever valve that will still work in ten years, and showing you where it is and which way it turns.
