Hi all

Iwant to change the taps in our bathroom, we have a combi boiler downstairs, is it a case of turning off the stop cock and turning the power supply off to the boiler to stop the water flow so i can change them, or do i need to do something else to stop the hot and cold flow?

Cheers
Andy

Just turning off the stop cock will be fine.
The hot water from the tap is only cold water heated up 'through' the boiler ::b

PS put isolator valves on the pipes when changing the taps so don't need to mess about with stopcocks in the future.
