Surestop Installation

Surestop installation is the professional fitting of a modern stopcock or remote-controlled valve to your mains water supply, giving you fast, easy control to prevent leaks and water damage.

A Surestop system helps protect your home by:

• Preventing leaks from turning into costly water damage
• Allowing instant shut-off of your mains water in an emergency
• Making hard-to-reach stopcocks easy to operate
• Giving peace of mind when away from home

• Surestop Stopcock with Remote Switch – Ideal if you want to control your water supply from a convenient location.
• Stand-Alone Surestop Stopcock – Perfect for easily accessible stopcocks without needing a remote.
• Accessories – Tubing and connectors to extend or upgrade your existing system.

Yes. All Surestop products are WRAS approved, meaning they meet strict UK standards for drinking water safety. Our professional Surestop installation ensures your valve is fitted correctly, fully tested, and leak-free. Surestop is pressure-operated, so it requires no electricity or batteries, reducing risk and maintenance. Once installed, it provides reliable, long-lasting control of your mains water, helping protect your home from leaks and water damage safely and effectively.

No regular servicing is required. Surestop valves are low-maintenance and pressure-operated, so they work reliably without electricity or batteries. We recommend a quick annual check to ensure the valve and remote switch are functioning correctly, but most homeowners find that once installed, Surestop provides long-lasting, trouble-free operation.
