If you are certain that the new ball valve is working (and there's no reason why it shouldn't) it either needs adjusting so that the float stops the water earlier - which I would have thought the plumber would have sussed - or that water is entering the tank by another means.....namely the pipe coil inside the copper cylinder has started leaking and allowing water into it, and then directly back up to the small loft tank.
