How do you tell if a header tank is still in use?

You own the loft then?

No. I thought I'd do the freeholder a favour and develop it for him.

LOL. I asked because, it seems a bit bizarre that you would be the freeholder - and therefore known to the occupant of the ground floor flat - yet feel that you can't approach this woman to ask her for 5 minutes of her time in order to try draining a bit of water from her CH.

Yeah fair enough. We get on fine and are in the process of buying the freehold. I'm sure she wouldn't mind at all - I'm just being lazy.
But surely if she sticks on her heating or whatever and I'm stood over the tank I will be able to tell if it's sending water out?

[On a point of order, I could have had the loft in my lease,i.e., I wouldn't have to be the freeholder necessarily to own the loft? As it happens my lease is ... obscure on who owns the loft void. Hence the move to enfranchise.]
