It started at 3am this morning. A high pitched squeal in the plumbing that will only stop when the toilet is flushed, or a tap is turned on. Can anyone help??

The washer inside the cistern inlet valve has died, it needs replacing.

Do you have a hose attached to an outside faucet that was not turned off. Or do you have an automatic lawn sprinkler system that might operate at that time of the morning?

The really odd thing (to me anyway) is that the next day it stopped completely. Now, I know enough to know that even if it’s stopped, there is still a problem somewhere.
Thanks guys, for your help. I’m a pretty handy lady with a lot of things, but plumbing’s not on that list……yet….lol. -
Follow the water service in to the cistern, the fitting it connects to is the inlet valve. Now depending on the brand as to the type of washer inside. Some times its easer to replace the valve than sodd around trying to explain washers to you, most times a fluidmaster is best to replace it with. Think you yanks call it a 400a, or a400
