Stop Tap Installation & Replacement Services
A functional stop tap is one of the most important components of any water supply installation. It gives you the ability to quickly isolate the water supply to your property in the event of a leak, a plumbing emergency, or when undertaking plumbing work. If your stop tap is seized, corroded, leaking or simply missing, it is essential to have it repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Sherborne Utilities installs and replaces internal stop taps and external service valves for domestic and commercial properties across Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Devon. We also install secondary or additional stop taps where required — for example, to provide isolation points in larger properties, commercial premises or when adding new branches to the supply system.
All our stop tap work is carried out by Water Safe certified engineers, ensuring full compliance with Water Regulations 1999. We use approved fittings and materials throughout, and can provide documentation of works carried out for your records.
Common Reasons for Stop Tap Replacement
- Stop tap seized solid and cannot be operated
- Stop tap leaking past the gland or body
- Stop tap does not fully isolate the supply
- Old gate valve to be replaced with modern ball valve
- New property purchase — stop tap condition unknown
- Additional isolation point required for new plumbing
- Stop tap in inaccessible location to be relocated

Restore Control of Supply
A working stop tap is essential for controlling your water supply in emergencies. We replace seized, corroded or faulty stop taps, restoring your ability to isolate the supply when needed.
Internal & External
We install and replace both internal stop taps (within the property) and external service valves (at the boundary or meter), ensuring full control of your supply at every point.
Quick Installation
Most stop tap installations and replacements can be completed in a single visit, minimising disruption to your water supply and day-to-day activities.
Water Safe Certified
Our engineers are Water Safe certified, ensuring all stop tap work is compliant with Water Regulations 1999 and carried out to the required standard for drinking water installations.
How We Work
Simple, efficient stop tap replacement with minimum disruption to your water supply.
Assessment
We assess the condition of your existing stop tap(s), identify the most appropriate replacement unit for your installation, and plan the work to minimise the time your water supply is off.
Isolation
We isolate the supply at the appropriate point — boundary stopcock, external service valve or meter — to allow the stop tap to be changed with no risk of water ingress.
Replacement or Installation
The old or failed stop tap is removed and the new fitting is installed, correctly orientated and secured. Pipe connections are made with approved fittings and sealants.
Testing & Sign-Off
The supply is restored, the new stop tap is tested for full operation and checked for any leaks. We confirm everything is working correctly before completing the visit.
