After watching this vid I looked into the airing cupboard and there is a red gate valve with one end going into the water tank and the other end into a pipe going somewhere else.

Hi Mandy, there should be a stopcock under your sink, which will make it easier to turn the water off. Also do not drain the tank unless it is a hot tap you are fixing. As you have a hot water cylinder and roof tank, see if you can locate a gate valve in your airing cupboard to turn the hot water off. It is always better if you do not drain the roof tank as you can get airlocks afterwards. The tap repair is as you say, in your description.

Hi, I'm changing my kitchen monobloc tap. I found where to turn off the cold water mains supply tap but I have a condensing boiler (Potterton Powermax HE with integrated hot water storage tank). There is no tank in the loft and the boiler is in the airing cupboard downstairs. There is one red gate valve in the cupboard on a pipe which feels cold, even when the heatings on. So, the question is: do I only have to turn off the cold water mains stopcock to stop both hot and cold water supply or do I need to turn the red gate valve as well? I have been reluctant to just turn it and see, in case I damage the boiler in some way. Also do I have to turn the boiler off as well? Thanks.
