Seized Stop Tap Free across the North West
Seized Stop Tap Free is scoped from our Stockport base for the property you actually have. A seized stop tap has not been turned for years and the spindle will not move. Forcing it shears the spindle and you lose the only internal isolation. Freeing it is slow, with the boundary tap identified first in case it snaps. The figure is price on application after that scope, not a catalogue price.

We free the spindle where it will move without damage, or we replace the tap if it will not. We prove it closes. We do not hit a stop tap with a stillson until the head snaps off. Supply work is the property side of the water-company stop tap: the internal stopcock, the rising main and outdoor bibs with backflow protection. Tell us the postcode, what is leaking or blocked, and whether the stopcock is already shut. Related plumbing guides are linked on this page, and the full list sits on the plumbing service hub.
