If you have a cylinder in an airing cupboard and a tank in the roof,
you should see a large pipe coming down and into the bottom of the
cylinder with a large valve in it with a circular tap on it. Turn that
off. (If you can. They are usually crapped up)

these gate valves (i think thats their name) always gunk up and leak when
fully off
so, are they a servicable item or for the money, is it easier to just change
it ?

Change it for a "quarter turn full bore lever valve". They are very
cheap and work.
