To change a washer in any other cold tap, you have to turn off the
main and throw away all the water in the header tank.

Actually, I've just re-examined the stop-cocks, and there is one to
isolate the bathroom cold-taps

To change a washer in any hot tap, you have to throw away all your hot
water as well.

This is correct. There is a stop-cock to the HW tank. But if I close
it right down the hot-taps in the bathroom still run full on.


In that case, do what I suggested earlier. Reach down into the cold
header tank and bung a cork in the outlet which feeds the hot cylinder.
