Most definitely, the float valve has packed up, when your cistern is filling the ball valve isn’t doing its job in cutting the water off when it gets to a certain level.

Anthony · Answer

Time and cost will depend where water tank is and access.

Clifford · Answer

It's normally charged at 1 hour plus cost of materials. If all is straight forward.

Rhys · Answer

Yes, the ball valve must be letting by which would need replacing or the ball could be cracked and filled with water causing it too pull down and release continuous water.

Replacement of valve supply and labour £80-£100 and would take approximately 1 hour

Hiya, you can get a repair kit from toolstation for around a tenner. Job is dead easy. Turn mains water off, go into the loft. Unscrew nut. Take out old & replace washers/rubbers. Install a new float valve and turn the water back on. 
Should take less than an hour.

Hi, about an hour to replace. Cost £100 including new value.

Hi.

To replace the ball valve in a cold water storage tank is a fairly straight forward job. Estimated cost is between £80-£100 and will take around 1 hour.
