Incoming water main unless there is a stop valve on the pipe leading to the ballvalve
Whichever one works... usually boards main stopcock 
There is a stop valve on the pipe leading to ballvalve,
It seems quite tricky to fit new one because tank has jacket and almost up against the ceiling as you can see from photo. I will have to remove the insulated jacket and top lid before fitting new one. Also it's high up so stand on chair to do it.
Anybody suggest anything else

Just make sure that:
1. You have isolated the water supply - depress the ball valve to ensure that there is no water flow.
2. Make sure that you have all the parts needed to complete the job.
3. You have the right tools.
4. You are working safely.

Think I will.
Stocpcock close to water tank container is too stiff to move, I tried. I did managed to have a shower just now, don't think the Mrs person will have a full one.
Anyway thanks all, I found my local housing office and they will send someone today or tomorrow

2 lads working on it now. I bought the stuff anyway incase.
Btw it's a private flat. Couple of weeks ago most in block experienced low pressure issue and they had to come and open up pavements to get to water supply.
Hope these guys if they charge will not be too big, let's see

One I bought as suggested is wrong size, the two guys could have installed it but wrong size. Now they putting back the original one after cleaning it.
Let's see. I will return the one I bought from screwfix tomorrow but near future I will probably replace it anyway. I will just get the size before hey leave.

Wrong size?????
Your tank needs a part 2 float valve not part 1.

I would have thought that they'd carry float valves. I do.
Me to!

That is a part 2 valve, the correct valve for your tank.
Have they cleaned your old valve out and fitted a new washer?
Is it filling now?
