Trying to replace the taps in the bathroom, turned the stopcock off and the cold water is off .. hot water is still coming, although I turned the bolier off so it's cold now ..
you may have a join tap jut befor the actual tap ,will have a flat screw head on a inch connector give it half a turn ,or yea youll have to leave the hot tap running till the tanks empty
Do you have a Hot Water tank in your airing cupboard?
No, no tank

There is a screw value looking thing under the boiler?
edit:
That's not it, that just lets water into the boiler.

Turn off the cold water infeed to the house and put the hot water taps on and eventually the flow will stop.
I'm guessing you have a cold water tank in the loft or somewhere.

In my house i can turn the hot off but not the cold to the tanks in the loft. When i was replacing the shower i had to turn the mains off and drain the system. Huge waste of water but needs must. Nice power shower now.

Either of you NW? want to replace a tap ? too small a job to bother ?
Then you must have been thinking the same reading the original post and replies
it was heading towards remap your boiler lol
Could be the water is leaking out of the dump valve via the fake roof vent, in my professional opinion of course...!
Very sorry, I'm also nowhere near you. Joking apart, if you are struggling, it would be much better to employ a local chap to sort it out.
If you have a look on the CIPHE website, there should be one of my fellow members near you. They might not be the cheapest, but they'll know what they're doing and you do have some proper redress if you're not happy.
