There is usually a gate valve in the hot press for the hotwater cut-off to the rest of the house. The valve might be located on the pipe that connects from the water tank in the attic to the base of the hot water cylinder. Ignore the central heating flow and return pipework.

If you plan on doing any work to plumbing I strongly recommend using a qualified plumber who is insured!
