 Water leak in loft - bathtub tom
Woke up this morning to water dripping off the light fitting and everything in the airing cupboard's soggy.

Isolator valve on the cold water tank feed failed, it's dripping from the screw in the middle. Never seen that before. When I turned it a small fountain shot up the side of the screw.

Spent most of the day trying to clear a working space in the loft, it's chock-a block with junk. I floored it years ago on top of 100mm of insulation. Been to the tip and got several bags of wet fibreglass now to go.

Ceilings seem to have survived, although I'll reserve judgement until it's all dry.

Anyone been there before to offer tips and advice?
