Stopcock & Isolation Valve Replacement
Stopcock & Isolation Valve Replacement
A seized stopcock turns a small leak into a flood, because nobody can turn the water off. Replacing it is one of the cheapest bits of insurance in the house.
About this service
Stopcock & Isolation Valve Replacement in South West London, done properly the first time
We replace internal stopcocks with modern full-bore lever valves that shut off instantly and won't seize, working with the external stop tap or a pipe freeze so the mains stay under control while we swap it.
While we're there we add isolation valves to appliances, basins and the WC so future repairs never mean draining the whole house. Very common in Kingston upon Thames's older housing stock where the original stopcock hasn't been turned in decades.

Frequently asked
Your questions, answered
Where is my stopcock?
Most South West London homes have it under the kitchen sink, in a hall cupboard or by the front door, plus an external stop tap in the pavement or driveway.
My stopcock won't turn — is that dangerous?
It means you can't isolate a burst quickly. We'd recommend replacing it before you need it, not during an emergency.
Do you need to turn off the water for the whole street?
No. We use the external stop tap or freeze the pipe locally, so only your supply is affected and only briefly.
Should I fit isolation valves too?
Yes — they let you isolate one tap or appliance instead of the whole house, and they're inexpensive to add during the same visit.
