If you are not working on the ball valve or the water supply to it you can swtich the water off by putting a length of timber over the cistern and tying the ball valve float arm up to it, I normally use a rubber luggage strap.

You should have a valve on the water outlet from your header tank if fed from one. Turn it off, complete work and turn it back on.
