Don't know how many people you've helped over the years mate, but I've watched so many of your videos.. I can't afford to pay someone to do these jobs for me, and when a pipe started leaking, I watched your videos and fixed the problems with a pipe cutter and some speedfit push on connectors. Thank you so much.

Or do I still need to turn off the gate valve to shut the hot water off, ? Thankyou in advance Paul

Hi Al I live in a 1960’s block of flats. My partner and I can not locate the stopcock for our bathroom! Sure enough there is a stopcock underneath the kitchen sink which my partner turned off but apparently that only stops water to the kitchen and not the bathroom! 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. Is this the valve we’ve been searching for to stop water supply to our bathroom/toilet??? Thanks for your vids they’ve helped us out many times😃

Do you need to drain tank fully to turn off hot water to bathroom hot water tap or is it sufficient to turn off water supply to the cylinder and then turn on hot water tap until water stops flowing - is this a partial draining of the tank ? It would be good to cover three cases 1 turn off water supply to house 2. Turn off cold water supply to taps etc 3. Turn off hot water supply to taps 4. If turning off water affects the central heating system

I do have a question however which relates to me installing a new bathroom. I want to replace the bath but there are no shut of valves to the hot and cold feeds.

Any help greatly appreciated.

For the hot tap I'll need to turn off the cold supply to the hot water tank in the airing cupboard? After this, will I need to drain the hot water in the hot water cylinder through the hot tap in the kitchen or should the hot tap in the kitchen stop flowing automatically?

Hi there, this will be my first DIY attempt at changing a tap washer. Here's what I remember from when I used to help my dad. Turn off main valve (Stopcock) from outside front of lawn. Run taps. Unscrew tap and change washer. Replace tap with new washer and "bobs ya uncle' - DONE. Now I don't really think it will be that easy so could you please give me advice to stop it from being balls up. I'm also going to turn hotwater cylinder off - at switch.

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.

The one I think feeds the cold water into the hot water tank, when closed, does not stop the hot water flowing. I waited for about a minute for the hot water to stop, but no luck. Can you think of a reason why this is the case? Also, the reason for this is I need to replace the valve in the cold mixer tap in the kitchen. If I don't shut off the hot water, will be changing the cold valve mean I'll have a big hot water leak? Cheers J

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.

I would leave it on, it may be the water for a flat below you.

A work man turned the water off in my mothers house then asked my elderly mother to go up stairs and turn all the taps on. Is there any reason why you would do this? I’m just worried that she was being tricked in some way.

In case of a seized under sink main water tap just heat it up with a blow torch for 15-20 seconds and it will loosen up and turn.
