our stopcock.
There's fancy!
First flat I bought didn't have one at all.
The first money I spent on the place, (after the mortgage application etc),
was to pay a plumber to turn off the block, via the small manhole in the pavement outside,
to install a stopcock.

Yep he's coming on Monday to move it up to the pink pipe on the left of that photo. Before we found it we had to turn off the whole building when we needed something done upstream of the isolation valves... unfortunately one of the shops under the block has a mains coffee machine so we were having to get the plumber out at 6am before they opened! Not such an issue during lockdown though.

Finally found our stopcock. Under the bathroom floorboards, which until recently had lino on top. And the tap was buried in ash and other shite (we're on a top floor flat!). Bloody tenements.
