"All you want is access to the stop tap. With the old system you may need to get access to the airing cupboard to turn off the hot water."

"Yes, unless the radiator/heating isn’t being touched and there are valves on all the pipe work in the bathroom, I can’t think of a bathroom I’ve done though we’re I haven’t required access."
