Hi, how do I switch the hot water off to allow me to replace a HW pipe in the bathroom. The pipe from the top of the HW cylinder disappears behind the cylinder and under the floor. I do not want to empty the tank or the cylinder if I can help it to avoid any air lock problems! I'd really appreciate some basic advice please.
How do I switch off the Hot Water?

There should be an isolating valve somewhere on the cold feed pipe going into the bottom of the tank.
Turn that off, and the hot taps should stop after a short while.
When you have finished, turn it back on, then any trapped air will come out of the hot taps when you turn them back on.
