I know I just love some questions on here at times. I'm a bit of a piss taker at the lack of practical skills, mostly my mates, and end up doing it for them!

Don't advertise that service on a postcard in the local shop.You don't need to be a plumber to be able to fit a toilet.
I've fitted numerous bathrooms, kitchens. Re-wired houses, built extensions, built oak barns, built patios, laid patio's built brick walls.
Also rebuilt car engines, jet engines.
Jobwise, aircraft engineer, publican, beer quality manager, antique dealer.
Should add recently I went on a course to learn French polishing, wow that's rewarding.
Haha no need my children normally just call. This weekend I'm a removal company.Don't advertise that service on a postcard in the local shop.
Good for you. Every time I have attempted diy plumbing it’s been a disaster.You don't need to be a plumber to be able to fit a toilet.

Thanks. The property is rented and the landlord is very good. He's away but has asked me to sort forthwith with the regular plumber and he'll reimburse. It's annoying as it's just making a racket every minute. I can turn the cold water off at the mains, but it's a pain having to turn it on again for stuff. There's a full bucket by the toilet ready now !
When I use the taps, hot or cold the toilet cistern seems to draw in more water. I was wanting to ask, and it's very kind of you to offer advice, does the raising of the bullcock mean water will not flow in full stop ? If so, that's fine as it would mean it's just the toilet out of action till it's fixed.
You do when you are me. I have to look up YouTube videos to change a light bulb.You don't need to be a plumber to be able to fit a toilet.

Is a French polisher someone who sees something or someone French and rubs it/them down with a duster?You don't need to be a plumber to be able to fit a toilet.

Yes as long as the cistern isn’t filling you have stopped the flow by tying up the ballvalve (fill valve) with string.

Rented property that was originally bodged and not been touched for years, landlord wants a cheap quick fix..
Im so busy i usually turn jobs like this away tbh.
Have a look online for an Impulse flush valve washer and try that first, alternatively get PILTDOWN round and keep us updated on how he gets on.
Edit - having actually read the thread if it's the float valve that is a simpler fix depending on if you can get to the other side of the flexi in the wall..

I see so many that are not buried that are rusted.

Thing is most taps are supplied with them, I wonder how many are sitting hidden waiting to blow at any minute and ruin someone's life..

The most curious thing..
It might work. I've done similar before as a temporary fix.
Call a plumber.

I do apologise to @BN9 BHA, but there's three questions on NSC that have been there forever and always have the same answer
I need a plumber - @Wrong-Direction (used to be @SIMMO SAYS)
I need a builder - @CAPTAIN GREALISH
I need a mortgage - @Uncle Spielberg
It's really quite simple
