Recently I’ve had two cisterns break on two toilets which meant they were just continuously flushing. ‘No problem’ I thought I’ll just turn them off underneath and sort that out another day. Both iso valves would turn less than a quarter turn and kept letting water through due to build up from hard water. I had to then dash out and buy a new one and replace them.

Give them a little test before it’s too late. Bonus is testing your stop tap for the whole house and knowing where the one for outside your house is.
