Adjust the float valve inside the cistern - it may be set to high - At the ball end follow the arm back to the joint with the inlet flow - undo the locknut and screw inwards to lower the ball - this will reset the fill height. Just make sure you tighten the nut again

It depends where the water is running. If it is running down the flush pipe, then the gasket is not fitted properly or the large plastic nut under the cistern needs tightening. If it is leaking where the water enters to fill the cistern, again, try tightening the nut on the pipe. It is difficult to answer this as You do not say what type of toilet you have. Does it have a Flush pipe, is it a close coupled toilet etc. Does the water fill from the side or underneath?

without knowing exactly what type of new installation, I can offer u these 2 possible cu;prits: first, remove tank lid, if there is a tube sticking straight up near the center of the tank and the water level exceeds the height of that tube and u can see water entering the tube, that's probably the problem. To the left of that tube there may probably be another tubular looking thing sticking up from the bottom of your tank with a cylindrical float probably adjustable by squeezing a flat,v-shaped piece of metal through which another metal piece (about the size of a pencil lead) passes through. squeeze the ends of the v-shaped piece and slide it up the rod a little. This will close the valve a little sooner.. play around with it till u feel it seems right or ur problem is fixed. If this float adjustment doesn't fix it, stick ur arm down into the water next to the tube in the middle. Hopefully, there's what's called a 'flapper valve' there. Apply a slight pressure to it just to see if it seats properly. Wait for the water displaced by ur arm to overflow down into the tube and listen to see if water is leaking by that flapper. I'll bet it's already fixed. See how easy that was? And people pay plumbers good money for that???? good luck.

The overflow on most modern "close cisterns" empty into the toilet bowl. In the past there would be a separate pipe that would come out of the cistern through the wall of the house.
If it is over filling you will get the condition you now have. The float valve need to be adjusted.

you probable have nicely water. The water is chilly and once you flush a lot the tank get chilly and water condenses on it. extremely while you're taking a steamy bathe. the answer is an insulated tank. you're able to purchase them at plumbing furnish shops. or you're able to attempt to insulate your self. the only that i offered purely had a pair of one million/2 inch of Styrofoam glued to the in the tank interior the water. different ideas: one million. do not flush usually. extremely top till now a bathtub. 2. upload a small quantity of warm water to the tank. not a eco-friendly difficulty. 3. placed a shelf under the tank to capture the condensation. Sponge it out as needed.

inside the cistern there is a ball on a lever.
at the base of the lever there is a little (normally plastic) screw
if you tigten up the screw a little bit it will stop the ball rising so far and this means that the ball will cut off the water flow before it gets a chance to spill over.
hope it goes well for ya ;)

Ring the installers straight away, you'll be amazed how big the next water bill is if you don't. If it has a ballcock you could try adjusting it, unscrew it a bit to make the cutoff point come on earlier

in the water box is a hole on the bottom
that hole has a stopper in it that connects to the lever that pulls it up to flush the toilet
the stopper does not close properly ,
maybe the lever has become disconncted or the stopper is not straight in the hole
open the box and check it out ,ist very easy to fix .

The float on the ballcock is not closing the valve when it's full. It's easy to adjust.
