Common questions
Where is my stopcock?
Usually under the kitchen sink, in a downstairs bathroom, under the stairs, or near the front door at floor level. In flats it may be in a utility cupboard or communal riser. Find it today, not during the emergency — our free Emergency Card helps you record it.
