Actually we drained the water system/boiler first to see if that would cause the water to stop leaking and only when this failed did we turn off the mains supply outside which did stop the leak within minutes. As for whether this has anything to do with the boiler installation, I agree that...

Over the summer we had a combi boiler installed and moved into our loft. Everything has been great until this morning when I came downstairs to feed our young son and I saw a puddle in the doorway between our dining room and kitchen.
