External or internal stopcock

 

[stevetheplumber]

have they checked with neighbours its not everyones main off?

 

[E4gas]

The water board would not turn them off with out a court notice ,,

Could be anything from the water meter, damaged pipe, to a disconnection.

Not intentionally, however mistakes do occour.

Surely you would speak to the Water Board before calling in a plumber?

Try the options that don't cost anything first!

Exactly

Better still, email the Water Board to ask what the .... is going on! Save the cost of a phone call!

Why is everyone assuming its an outside stopcock, internal stopcock or meter.....never think it could simply be the tap itself? Information is very vague, best looking at it before ringing anyone to see if water has been knocked off

 

[petercj]

Maybe I'm missing something here - if the man has no mains water, what can a plumber do about that, other than ringing the water board on his behalf?

Yes but the information is very vague:

Customer: Hello plumber, I have no mains water
Plumber: OK, i'll call out tomorrow

Whose to say the customer simply doesnt have water at one tap which is mains because the tap itself is jammed? Nothin said anywhere about tanks not filling/if pressurized, no hot water or heating. Simply says no mains water, could be a multitude of things :\

Normally something simple, I had one where mop handle had fallen against small lever valve stoptap in boiler cupboard.
