Good Evening, I have a leaking boiler ( Worcester Bosch), Engineer has been notified and is coming out tomorrow. I've turned off the water at the stop tap, just wondering if there is a way of turning off the water to the boiler only (dcw mains isolating valve as noted in manual? ) - this would...

Dear All, Many thanks for the messages and help. I've found the source of the foghorn noise...it's the neighbours oven which makes the noise every time it is being used!! The oven is placed against the party wall which is why the noise is pretty clear. Many thanks.
