Stopcock Replacement FAQs

Where should stopcocks be located in my home?

Your main stopcock should be located where the water supply enters your property, often under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs bathroom, utility room, or near the front door. Additional stopcocks can be installed to isolate specific areas or appliances for maintenance.

Why won't my stopcock turn off completely?

Stopcocks can deteriorate over time due to limescale build-up, corrosion, or mechanical wear. If your stopcock doesn't fully shut off the water supply, it needs replacing to ensure you can control your water in emergencies.

How often should stopcocks be replaced?

There's no set timeframe, but stopcocks should be replaced if they become difficult to turn, leak, or fail to completely shut off the water. As a preventative measure, consider replacing stopcocks older than 15-20 years, especially if they show signs of corrosion.

Can you add additional stopcocks to isolate specific areas of my home?

Yes, we can install additional isolation valves to control water flow to specific areas, bathrooms, or appliances. This makes maintenance easier and limits the impact of any future plumbing issues to smaller sections of your home.

How long does it take to replace or install a stopcock?

A straightforward stopcock replacement typically takes 30-60 minutes. Installing a new stopcock in a different location may take 1-2 hours depending on access and pipework requirements. We'll need to turn off your water supply during the installation.
