Hello to everyone.
I am urgently seeking help with my mains stopcock, as I have a leak from the tap stop. I would like to avoid a plumber, so ask if it's possible to only replace the tap part where it screws in (as against the whole unit), as I feel I could manage this. I live in a flat with a closed pressurised hot water system. I have one cockstop (mains into flat that's leaking), and another one in line about 1/2 a meter along/up. If it's possible to just replace the tap spur, is it just a case of closing both stopcocks to change the spur - to stop water coming in and water draining from the system? - or can anyone give me any advice at all on how to mend the problem, especially as I don't want to flood my neighbours' flats?
Many thanks for your help and for reading my post,
