    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.
