i am currently working at someones home and the owner wants to renew his kitchen sink but the stop tap inside their home doesnt fully turn off the water just lowers the pressure... that'll probably be a washer problem we eventually found the water main access panel (in the back garden) gas and water mains seem to run through the back gardens this panel im almost certain is for the water main to the house as it says WATER on it, it is a black plastic circle about 8 inches in diameter, levered it open and found some sort of valve, not the usual brass stop tap, seems like a modern installation, but i cant figure out how to turn it off, there is a something in brown plastic at the bottom of the hole then a plastic t shaped stem but this doesnt turn, or does the water board need to turn it off with a specialist tool..... any ideas?
