What is a Mains Stop Tap and Why is it Important
A mains stop tap, also known as a stopcock, is a crucial component of your property's water supply system. It's usually located near the water meter or where the water pipe enters your home. The stop tap allows you to turn off the water supply in case of an emergency, such as a burst pipe or a leak. If your stop tap is faulty, you may not be able to turn off the water supply, which can lead to significant damage to your property. Our experts can help you find and fix any issues with your stop tap, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your property is protected.

Answers to common questions about our Mains Stop Tap Repair & Replacement
Why Choose Wilsons Plumbing & Drainage?
Why is My Stop Tap Leaking and What Can I Do?
A leaking stop tap is a common problem, often caused by a worn-out washer or corrosion. While tightening the nut might temporarily slow the leak, it's usually a sign the tap needs professional attention. Ignoring it can lead to a bigger problem, potentially causing damage to your property. We can quickly diagnose the cause and advise on the best course of action, whether it's a simple washer replacement or a complete tap replacement.
My Stop Tap Won't Turn – What's the Deal?
Stop taps can seize up over time, especially if they're not used regularly. Forcing it can damage the tap and potentially cause a leak. We have the tools and expertise to free a stuck stop tap without causing further damage. If it's completely seized, we can safely replace it, minimising disruption to your water supply.
Where Exactly Should I Find My Stop Tap?
Finding your stop tap quickly is essential in an emergency. Most homes have it under the kitchen sink, but it can also be in a utility room, garage, or even outside near the boundary of your property. If you're struggling to find it, give us a call – we can help you locate it and advise on making it more accessible in the future. Knowing where it is before you need it is always the best policy.
Everything is Turned Off But the Leaking Continues – What Next?
Even with the stop tap fully turned off, there might still be some water in the pipes. If the leak persists or is significant, it's crucial to call us immediately. There might be a problem with the tap itself, or a more serious issue with your water supply. We'll get to the bottom of it and ensure the leak is stopped safely.
Do I Really Need a Professional to Replace a Stop Tap?
While some DIY enthusiasts might attempt a stop tap replacement, it's generally best left to the professionals. Mistakes can lead to leaks, flooding, and damage to your plumbing system. We have the correct tools, experience, and insurance to carry out the replacement safely and efficiently, giving you peace of mind. Plus, we can advise on the best type of stop tap for your property.
Different Types of Stopcocks - Which one do I need?
