You could ask at your merchants for a full bore isolation valve, you get these either with a screw slot or with a handle. As the name suggests full bore, without restriction.
Just get a "Stop Tap".. I'm guessing your rising main is in 15mm copper?
As long as your pressure isnt p1$$ poor to start with, you won't notice a thing.
Just make sure you fit it the corrent way, it should have a direction arrow on.
Don't buy a gate valve, they are terrible for seizing up!
