Isolating your water supply

It's always a good idea to know how to turn off the mains water supply into your home. Here’s an easy-to-follow guide which shows you how.

 

The mains water supply to your home is controlled by a stopcock; this can be found under the sink in your kitchen. If you need to isolate the water supply to your home, you’ll need to turn the stopcock until you feel resistance. This will stop water from coming into your home to allow you to undertake any repair or maintenance work.

It’s also important to regularly test your stopcock, to ensure it doesn’t get stuck in one position.

Warranty peace of mind

Feel secure in the knowledge that our homes come with a two-year Persimmon Homes warranty and in years three to 10 you’re covered by an NHBC/LABC warranty. Warranties on appliances can be set up straight away and registered directly with the manufacturer. Remember to service your boiler before the end of the first 12 months to maintain the second year of your warranty.

Our sales team is on hand via email or phone to help you, and our customer care team is available to offer support during and after your settling-in period.
