Leaky Faucet trouble

Kev1293748

Hello Everyone, looking for Plumming info, I have a leaky Tap on the upstairs bath, I understand that the rubber washers want replacing.

I have located the mains water shut off valve that’s under the sink, But this seems to only stop the cold water for downstairs, in my boiler cubbyhole I’ve found a detailed list.

Valve no 1 Located under sink mains shut off valve

No 2 Cold feed to cylinder
No 3 Domestic cold feed
No 4 Main water feed to attic
No 5 Hot water drain off
No 6 Cylinder return isolator valve
No 7 Cylinder flow motorised isolating valve

Anybody know which one would turn off the hot and cold water upstairs ?

Probably:
No2, - Hot
No3, - cold.

Turn off these, may be stiff to close completely. Turn on bath taps, wait for at least 30Sec to see if water flow slows or stops.
Turn On sink taps; this hopefully will syphon all the water in the pipes into the bath.
Get the spanners out

One piece of advice. Don't talk about faucets here (I presume you're American) because nobody will know what you are on about.
