It's a pretty easy replacement job, as long as you can turn the water off in the road. So, maybe £100-ish to fit?
You can ease a lot of stop cocks by loosening the gland nut.
I was quoted "around £250" by a plumber - 10 years ago - to replace with a battery powered kill switch
If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.0
