Ballcocks and float valves are simple parts, but when they wear or stick they can cause overflows, noise, slow filling or water constantly running. These are exactly the sort of smaller plumbing repairs I like to help with.
If you have a toilet cistern, cold water tank or header tank problem, a quick photo can often help me understand what type of part may be needed before I visit.
I will be honest if the job is awkward, access is poor, or if another specialist is more suitable.

-
What is a ballcock?
It is the float-operated valve that controls water entering a cistern or tank. When it fails, water may keep filling, overflow, or make a noise.
-
Can you repair header tank problems?
Yes, for many common float valve, ballcock and overflow issues, as long as access is safe and suitable.
-
Should I send a photo first?
Yes. A photo of the cistern, tank or overflow often helps me advise what may be needed before arranging a visit.
-
Do you take on full bathroom refits or gas work?
No. I specialise in small plumbing repairs and domestic fault finding. I do not take on gas work, boiler repairs or full bathroom installations.
