No, freezing kit is correct, using a blow torch will melt the rubber seal on the spindle and you will be in trouble then.
if the incoming pipe is plastic then a plumber can clamp it off and replace the stop cock in a jiffy.
if it's copper then a freezing kit basically turns the water in...

Hi. There is a jammed stop cock which needs replacing. It is external to the flat ie in a communal area but serves the flat exclusively. The managing agents say it is the lessees responsibly. I've attached a couple of the relevant excerpts from the lease. Can anyone confirm who is responsible for maintaining...15-01-2021, 15:39 PM

Yes indeed it is.
I presume by freezing kit you mean freeing kit? I haven't heard of such a thing but thought that there was a method with wd40, time and a blow torch which could be used to unstick them....18-01-2021, 11:45 AM -
Thanks for your comprehensive response Macromia.
Your views on the lease resonate with my own.
I am of the opinion that the intention when the lease was written was to make the individual flat owners responsible for all of the items listed as being the freeholder's...18-01-2021, 11:42 AM -
Good argument for regularly testing your stopcocks and never ever leave them fully open.
A decent plumber ought to be able to free up or replace the internal one with a freezing kit.18-01-2021, 10:53 AM -
Yes. There is a stop cock inside the flat and another stop cock in the communal area which exclusively serves the flat. Both are jammed and need replacing.
This actually makes it a more onerous task to replace as the whole block needs to have is supply cut off with notice given etc in order to...18-01-2021, 10:18 AM -
All directors should be given the same information and given advanced notice to attend the directors meetings.
You should make a complaint to Investigation Companies House if you suspect the the £9000 "directors loan" was added after the annual accounts was signed off by...18-01-2021, 00:45 AM -
Struggling with how to proceed,
Company is building of 6 flats converted from a house about 25 years ago. Each leaseholder is a member, and currently each member is a director.
The management of the building has been going downhill and we suspect that 4/6 directors have essentially...15-01-2021, 07:00 AM -
Can you for comparison scan and upload the lease plan?
" I don’t feel secure enough that ‘just’ because a garden isn’t mentioned in the other lease it means it is ours"
That is certainly not the case, I think that all your solicitor is doing is ruling out...17-01-2021, 21:41 PM -
Hi,
I am currently in the process of purchasing my first property, a ground floor flat in a converted house. The flat above is owned by another leaseholder & they rent their property out (currently up for sale).
We are a couple weeks away from completing but my Solictor...14-01-2021, 22:28 PM
