Our cistern keeps leaking into the bowl through the overflow of the flush unit. Flush unit was replaced recently so I doubt it's that. I've fiddled with the float in the fill valve no end, including cable tying an extra float onto it to to try and make the valve close.
It flushes fine and fills up then it'll start dribbling for about half an hour. Running the sink taps erratically can set it off too. Do I just buy a new fill valve unit? It's kind of like the water pressure for our flats increased slightly and now just overcomes the valve. The boiled needed topping up around the same time that it started and there's a pump room downstairs so it's possible they messed around with it recently.
Failing all this, does anyone know a decent plumber in Stamford Hill?
