After you get in touch, an engineer comes to your Newton Aycliffe address. The first task on arrival is turning off the supply at the stopcock. This limits damage while the engineer checks the fault. The check then covers whether the problem lies in the original mid-century pipework or a newer fitting, since the two often need different parts. Ask the engineer to pressure-test the system and confirm the fix before they leave.
