Turning the Mains Water Inlet off on Boiler

mr_vampy

Hi,

I currently have a small leak on the pipework to the hot water tap in the bathroom. Unfortunately the leak is happening before the isolation valve, and a plumber can't get here till next Monday to repair it.

I was wondering is it possible for me to turn the mains water inlet off to the Worcester Greenstar 30Si boiler and also turning the boiler off, thereby still giving me access to the cold water only, or do I have to turn it off at the main stopc*ck?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

There will be a isolation valve on the cold main going to the boiler. Usually the outer 2 or heating flow and returns, the middle is gas and the 2 15mms are cold and hot.

Thanks Alex1983. Yes there is an isolation valve on the mains water inlet pipe. So I can turn this off, and then open the hot water taps to let any of the remaining water out?

Yes, you'll get next to nothing out.
