How would I lock off a breaker?
With a padlock, used on a breaker with lock off facilities or with a
MCB lock off kit.
Far better to kick everyone out of the house and lock the doors. After
they've made the tea, obviously.

Only if you ensure the doors can't be re-opened by unauthorised
personnel.


And you've carried out a risk assessment and followed procedures for
lone working.

Woulnd't be too clever to lock everyone else out and then electrocute
yourself.

I think the moral of the story is don't do electrics unless you are an
electrician, not a handyman.
