    This thread is proof that leaving a leak for over 6 and a half months is not MSE - or very wise.

    Oh well, the OP will probably pay for her dithering about now.

    one last question on this - hopefully will be fixed soon

    I am off on holiday on Monday - to stop the overflowing I guess I can either isolate the valve on the left hand side of toilet or stop the water coming into my property....or should I do both (any danger in doing both)?

    (my DIY skills....not existent)

    turn off both valves.
    and switch off the boiler. just remember to turn em all on again when u return!

    re the OP and the shelf.
    it will either be stuck down or tiled on top of some nails/screws. prising it up should reveal all.
    Get some gorm.
