Toilet keeps running (slightly)

    Hi guys

    I have just moved into a new place recently so am getting to know my new toilet! Today I noticed it keeps running slightly (a small stream of water) into the toilet bowl constantly. I imagine it is probably going to get gradually worse. Not sure what this might be, but hopefully nothing too serious? It's a concealed cistern accessible via the flush panel so I can't really take a look at it myself. Going to call a plumber but would be good to have some advice on it also.

    Thanks a million

    It can be a couple of different things.

    1. It can be a simple case that the filling valve needs adjusting as it's pouring into the overflow and down into the siophan

    2. It can be a. Aes that the button is over pressing on the flush valve keeping it open.

    3. More commonly but it's a case that dirt is caught in the flush valve.

    4. At worst you will need a new flush valve but tbh I can't see that. As it's a concealed cistern you can buy the flushing arm with is only,about 3" and easier to fit in this case
