Turn off your main stop cock.
Thanks for your reply but thats ok for the cold water supply but the hot water still runs and not sure if the boiler will be damaged if i drain the system.

Thanks Paul, if i run it for a while would you advise turning power off to the boiler as well.
Thanks for your help chaps.
Yes turn the boiler off.
Your boiler will have valves under it they all do.
but they can leak after, especially if he turns off the heating valves.
best stick with the stop cock

Worcester valves don't leak and I wouldn't turn the heating valves off if I wnated to drain the hot water
and I wouldn't turn the heating valves off if I wnated to drain the hot water Some of them leak when you haven't even touched them, drain down, the seal in the valve has the pressure removed, fill back up again and it pi**es out.
Worcester valves don't leak
Oh yes they do!
Worcester valves don't leak
he might not realise which valve to turn off and then turn the whole lot off just in case
You might have 2 incoming mains.
Th one in the street will kill the flow if not already sorted.
