Hi

The house i live in was built over 100 years ago, it was converted
into two flats and mine is the upper flat.

The flat was renovated before i bought it and has new grey type piping
under the bath etc but old copper pipe everywhere else.

I have one problem, there isn't a stop cock in my property. The
stopcock is the flat downstairs.

This is obviously not suitable for cases of emergency etc.

If my neighbour switches off the water, how easy is it to fit a new
stop cock in my flat?

Can this be done as a diy job or will i require a plumber?

Thanks

Gillian
