Stopcocks and mains supplies in Worthing
Southern Water supplies water to Worthing. In general, they look after the water main and the pipe up to your boundary or outside stop tap. The supply pipe from there into your home, and the stopcock inside, are yours. We find where the leak is before we start, so you know who should fix it.
Older homes in Worthing, from the Victorian streets near the seafront to the interwar houses in Broadwater and Goring, may still have a lead supply pipe. Lead was banned for new water pipes in 1970. If yours is lead, we can replace it while we are repairing the leak.
In converted flats the stopcock can be hard to find. It may be in another flat, in a shared cupboard, or there may be one valve for the whole building. If you do not know where yours is, call us before there is an emergency and we can help you find it.
Stopcocks under kitchen sinks are often old brass valves that have not been turned in years. Forcing them can snap the spindle or split the pipe. If yours will not turn, leave it and call us. We replace it with a lever valve that is easy to use.
